Chapter 770 Three Tianlong Ancient Temple

The beliefs in the world are divided into three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

Needless to say, Confucianism is Buddhism, and Taoism is the school of Qi training.

Confucianism is orthodox in reading, and Taoism has too many branches of qi training sects, and all kinds of gods, ghosts and ghosts come from it; and Buddhism can be divided into two factions.

Mahayana Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism.

Mahayana Buddhism cultivates the mind; Theravada Buddhism cultivates the Buddha.

Mahayana Buddhism needs to absorb the luck of the world, so the Great Qin Dynasty wants to exterminate the Buddha, and the intertwining of the luck of the rivers and lakes in the Southern Tang Dynasty and the luck of the imperial court make the Hinayana Buddhism live quite well and develop quite well.

There are a total of four Tianlong ancient temples in the Southern Tang Dynasty, all of which are Hinayana Buddhism. They seek self-transcendence, and do not pay attention to preaching the world to save the world... Strictly speaking, they belong to the category of Jianghu sects.

The Hinayana Buddhism has a system of its own, which has something in common with Martial Arts, but it is somewhat paradoxical. It is difficult for a martial artist to survive the hundred and five-year limit, but the lifespan of an arhat can be as long as three hundred years.

Therefore, there are a total of five arhats in the world, and only two have emerged within a hundred years. This also highlights the characteristics and shortcomings of Hinayana Buddhism, that is, it is not easy to practice. And Xuan, the difficulty is no less than that of a martial artist proving the way of a heavenly king.

Moreover, monks have nothing to do with romance, at most they are a wonderful monk in white clothes.

But the Southern Tang Dynasty has a tradition of believing in Buddhism. Even Hinayana Buddhism can also receive tax-free subsidies from the local government and funding from the public. Tianlong Ancient Temple has always been full of incense, and it also has some supporting industries for the outside world. , For example, if you want to sell body protectors, whether it’s a Taoist school, a shrine or a temple, put a roll of toilet paper first... No, first put a box of lottery here.

However, the things consecrated here are indeed useful, and they are not completely bragging products. It is said that they were placed in front of the Buddha for 49 days to worship, after hundreds of monks chanted scriptures, and they were engraved into Sanskrit by eminent monks with profound cultivation, then it is indeed Yes, it has a strong restraint effect on ghosts and goblins... This is obviously to compete with Taoist priests for business, but there are basically no Taoist temples in Southern Tang Dynasty, and even if there are, they are all fake Taoist priests selling dog meat. Temples have a monopoly.

Shirataki also bought some illuminated Buddhist beads in the past and wore them. They are surprisingly useful for fighting low-level monsters, and they can also automatically trigger the warning function. When encountering ghosts at night, they will automatically light up to remind ghosts nearby, but After a month or two, its effect will decrease until it disappears completely. After all, this thing is a consumable. You need to listen to Buddhist scriptures to charge it. Unfortunately, the recorded Great Compassion Mantra and Diamond Sutra are useless. .

The four Tianlong ancient temples are located in different places, but there is a large-scale city near each ancient temple, about half the level of ancient Suzhou.

The flow of people represents the number of incense sticks and the speed at which the monks eat porridge. If there are more pilgrims, the monks should be happy, but too many people may not be a good thing, and it often means trouble.

Not to mention Tianlong Ancient Temple, even this city has experienced short-term overcrowding.

It wasn't a festival, nor was there any major event in the city, but the flow of people suddenly increased, and even the number of good-looking girls almost caught up with Rongcheng. Just throwing a cup of milk tea can hit one.

The caravan stumbled and staggered, and finally reached the destination. Unfortunately, the inn was already overcrowded, and the group had no choice but to continue wandering around. Finally, relying on Mr. Hong's personal relationship, they finally found a place in the other garden of a businessman who had done business. live temporarily.

Meng Chuxue also saw the clue, and she couldn't help asking strangely: "Why are there so many people?"

The housekeeper in charge of the reception introduced with a smile: "They are all here to join in the fun, and people from several nearby cities have gathered here."

"What's going on?" Meng Chuxue asked curiously, "What's the fun?"

She just came to Nantang, originally to visit relatives, but also brought a lot of knowledge along the way, so she was naturally excited when she saw the excitement.

Bai Taki was gnawing on a pear from Nantang, peeled it and cut it into slices, put it on a plate, handed it to the little Bodhisattva, and quietly pricked up his ears.

The little beggar naturally had a name, but she didn't want to reveal her real name, and the past was a disaster for her, so it was inconvenient to force her.

Shirataki named her Avalokitesvara, always calling the little beggar a bit of a sucker, and she is also a living Buddha and Bodhisattva, so it would be appropriate to call her Avalokitesvara.

It is very common for people in the Southern Tang Dynasty to take names such as Vajra, Bodhisattva, Subduing Dragon and Subduing Tiger.

"Eat pears." Shirataki picked up a piece of pear and threw it into his mouth, the sweet and sour taste was very good.

The butler poured tea for the guests, and began to talk about this matter: "If you want to talk about this excitement, of course it is a matter of the rivers and lakes. Ordinary trivial matters, it is not enough to make a city full of storms, let alone half a state. People from all over the world came here... The guests just came from other places, so they must not be aware of this matter, but now the matter has spread in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they all say that the one who disappeared for almost three years is coming back."

"Which one?" Meng Chuxue blinked.

"No. [-] on the list." The butler said mysteriously, "That person is truly a fairy."

"Don't ask the gods and demons?" Meng Chuxue said strangely: "But the rumors about him... aren't they good?"

"Some things always take time to prove." The housekeeper said: "In the past, few people knew, and everyone was skeptical. After all, the rumors were exaggerated and did not seem to be true. Now two or three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the past is still unknown. Turning the page, the more you look back, the more you inquire about many things, the more chilling you will feel, and it is exactly the same as the absurd Jianghu theory at the beginning!"

Meng Chuxue couldn't bear it anymore. She had heard about Jianghu, because she didn't take it seriously, so she just listened to it as a legend: "How could it be true! He really killed the king of heaven? Did he really kill the king in front of the White Emperor's tower?" The Promise Demon Sect? Are you really going to fight the Prairie Wolf King and move to the Qianli Grassland?"

"It's all true." The housekeeper also laughed: "At least no one has found out that it's fake. The parties involved kept silent and chose to remain silent... This indifference is the best proof, otherwise Dugu City and the Promise Demon How could the door be willing to suffer from this kind of dumbness and not speak?"

"My God..." Meng Chuxue's expression was slightly dull: "Is this still a human?"

"Of course not!" The butler said seriously, "It's a fairy."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Bai Taki choked, "Don't just expel your membership!"

"Great Qin is different from Southern Tang. There are deviations in the information. If the news is far away, it will naturally not get out." The butler covered the teapot: "I don't know how many people sighed, and they couldn't get a glimpse of that person's peerless romance back then."

Shirataki's mouth twitched.

... You flirtatious monsters, when you talk about flirtatious, you clearly like to watch people pretend...

Meng Chuxue understood: "So, Mo Wen, the god and the devil, is getting more and more recognized these days, and these people are here for him?"

"That's right." The housekeeper also nodded, "So this time there is news that Mo Wen, the god and demon, has returned to Southern Tang, and many people want to take a look at it."

"But isn't this contradictory? His identity is very mysterious, his real name is not even signed on the list of people, and his real appearance is even more unknown. Even if we meet or meet, there is nothing we can do..." Meng Chuxue said Then, she suddenly thought of the beautiful women all over the street, and her expression was even weirder.

"Usually, that's true." The housekeeper continued, "But this time the god Mowen returns to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the first stop will definitely be Tianlong Ancient Temple."

"Is he going to shave or become a monk?" Meng Chuxue asked.

"Of course not, how is it possible!" Shenmo Mo asked himself to deny it on the spot.

"We don't know exactly why. There are many rumors, but this news comes from many sources, so it should be very reliable. Regardless of whether it is true or not, many people believe it and come here on purpose." The housekeeper analyzed: "From outside the customs Entering the Southern Tang Dynasty, this ancient temple of Tianlong is on the way."

"So it's all rumors." Meng Chuxue sat down again, and said calmly: "It sounds impossible, and even if he plans to come, seeing so many people, it's unlikely that he will stay here."

The housekeeper shook his head politely: "I really don't know these things, but many people think it's true. Maybe it's just rumors, but the rumors in the world are not always groundless... You might as well rest early today, and go to Tianlong tomorrow morning Take a look at the ancient temple, even if you don’t meet gods and demons, don’t ask, you can also see ordinary and rare scenes.”

The little Bodhisattva also looked curiously at her, and said 'I'm curious' with the same expression as Meng Chuxue.

"We'll know when it's dark." Bai Taki looked towards the mountain wall outside the city, and thought to himself that he could go to catch wind tonight.

……

The sky is getting late, the sun is fading, and day and night alternate.

On the mountain wall outside the city, there is a huge stone Buddha built on the mountain, which is more magnificent and ancient than the stone Buddha carvings in Dunhuang.

There are [-] steps at the foot of the stone Buddha, and between the [-] steps is a long-lasting ancient temple, which looks like a black tower on a big dragon, so it got its name.

——Tianlong Ancient Temple!

The ancient temple has a total of nine floors, and few people can approach it.

The interior of the ancient temple is not open to ordinary tourists. Its nine-story pavilion has a total of 99 long-lived lamps.

The higher you go, the less there are. Only a very few people's longevity lamps can be placed on the top floor of the ancient temple, and they are enshrined and prayed for by thousands of lights.

This is also a common trick of Hinayana Buddhism. On the one hand, it can increase the funding and support of some powerful figures; Buddha.

Mahayana Buddhism lights long-lived lamps, and the number directly exceeds tens of thousands. Although it is laborious and expensive, this is the real rain and dew. The Hinayana Buddhism pays attention to becoming a Buddha alone, but it does not pay attention to saving others at all. The Buddha is himself, and believers It is not a Buddha, and it cannot become a Buddha. It is an object that needs to be rescued.

Shirataki has his own reasons for not liking Southern Tang Buddhism. In this respect, he absolutely agrees with the view of being number one on the list.

"It's too hypocritical...the exquisite egoism of false public benefit."

Shirataki stood on a high place and looked at the stone Buddha in the distance, with a somewhat sarcastic smile.

As long as you get closer, you can destroy the symbol of Tianlong Ancient Temple for many years with a little effort, but you can't do it. After all, this is the category of material cultural heritage. It is a pity to destroy it, and... there is no injustice. The head, the debt has the owner.

Shirataki took out a small notebook of vengeance, opened the first page of the notebook, and wrote a few lines.

Location: Tianlong Ancient Temple, North Courtyard.

Goal: The Buddha's son explained the Yiyana, cultivated to the Vajra Realm

What is owed: an eye...an eye for an eye.

"The eyeballs are closed for you..."

Chapter 770 What kind of evil can a monk have?

Tianlong ancient temple, on the sixth floor of the temple, a middle-aged scholar stood in the corridor, looked up at the burning candles and longevity lamps on both sides of the corridor.

Names and birthdays are written on the lanterns. Some are old and some are brand new. Some candles are bright and some are dim. Looking at the long-lived lamp, and then looking back at the lights of Wanjia, it is the blue lantern of the ancient Buddha. Just like the old days, the middle-aged scholar couldn't help showing a bit of sarcasm, and the old scenery is also a little tired.

He glanced at the little monk beside him: "Is the host so busy? You don't even have time to see me?"

The little novice clapped his hands together and replied: "The host said, Mr. Song came in a hurry, for fear of disturbing..."

Song Shujing sneered: "Look at me to see the Longevity Lamp and the ancient Buddha, want to soothe my mind? The Buddhist family really likes to talk about Zen. I am here to help you, but I was rejected. I really don't know how to appreciate it! "

The middle-aged Confucian scholar turned around and flicked his sleeves: "Forget it, I don't want to see this official, and if I don't see it, I won't. The white clothes that kill the heavenly king!"

Confucian scholars go away.

The little monk slowly ran up to the seventh floor. On the seventh floor, an old monk with eyebrows hanging down to his shoulders was adding oil to the longevity lamps. He looked as ordinary as a sweeping monk. From the eyes of others, Walking by, it's hard to be noticed.

"Abbot." The little novice said, "Master Song left and said..."

"I heard it." The old monk kept moving his hands, "Go down now."

The little novice nodded and left, and then another monk went up to the seventh floor: "Master, Song Shujing has left and left a letter."

The old monk glanced at the letter. After receiving it, he threw it into the lamp without even looking at it. The green lamp quickly burned out the letter, and the white paper burned, releasing a purple flame. There was a muffled hum from the flame.

The monk was dumbfounded: "Ah, this..."

"The strategist's methods are always hard to guard against. If you read the letter, you can easily fall for his strategist." The old monk muttered: "This Song Shujing, he still hasn't made any progress as before. If he has the patience to climb to the seventh floor, I've met him since I met him, but he couldn't stand it after seeing the sixth floor. His mood was similar to that of the past, and he even took a few steps back. After staying in a place like Sitianjian for a long time, he tends to lose himself and become arrogant. He has a self-willed personality, so he came here in such a hurry this time, why didn't he want to steal the limelight."

The young monk was taken aback: "The host doesn't like Song Shujing?"

The old monk added lamp oil: "Song Shujing is a member of King Yong. He came here with the intention of King Yong. The old monk didn't want to lose face to the royal family. It has nothing to do with preferences. Besides, I am 80 years old. This little doll who is less than 50 has nothing to worry about."

The young monk thought, but you drove everyone away.

"I drove him away because he shouldn't have been involved in this matter. This matter was originally between individuals, but someone deliberately wanted to make it bigger, raise a level from an individual, and make the world full of ups and downs... ..." The old monk said leisurely: "Let's close the door and talk, and if we can't reach an agreement, make a plan. What is the relationship between the internal affairs of Buddhism and his Si Tianjian? Could it be that King Yong, who is far away in Luocheng, has the courage to do it all the time? Can a white-clothed person who just entered the customs scare him so that he can't sleep at night? If he really can't sleep, wait for him to arrive at the foot of Los Angeles."

The meaning of the presiding officer of the ancient temple is very clear.

Any affairs involving the court, the royal family, and even the Si Tianjian will be complicated. The Tianlong Ancient Temple is located in a corner of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so there is no need to be restrained by the other party.

He hoped to suppress this matter in one place, so as not to give others a chance to make use of it.

The young monk was silent, he clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha... I understand what the host said, but I'm afraid the white robe didn't think so."

The old monk said: "This young man just wants fairness, and we will give him fairness."

The young monk said, "Is it necessary for Shi Yicheng to dig out the eyes of the sky?"
