Chapter 315: Ritual
For the next few days, Changsheng and Baoyue stayed in a secret palace, carefully studying the ancient books brought out of the treasure room!
It is said that it is a study, but in fact, it is Zen Master Baoyue who translated the ancient Sanskrit books into Chinese or English, and the two discussed it again.
After reading all kinds of Sanskrit texts, the two of them roughly sorted out the clues of the withered lamp Zen master and the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda of Buddhism.
It turned out that knowing that the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda of Nalanda Temple was not the magic weapon that opened the eyes of Rulai, the Dry Lamp Zen Master had the mind to find the real Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda!
After consulting various materials and legends of Nalanda Temple, I also have a rough idea of the whereabouts of the people who burn the lamp!
It is said that after leaving the Buddha, the Burning Lamp Daoist went all the way north with the real Eight Treasure Glazed Pagoda, but in the time that followed, there was no trace of the Burning Lamp Daoist in Dongtu Aurora!
In other words, it is very likely that the Burning Lamp Daoist stayed in a certain sacred mountain on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and became immortals, and the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda is still in that sacred mountain!
This speculation coincided with the information left by Jing Wugong, and Changsheng thought secretly.
One night, Zen Master Dry Lantern left Nalanda Temple with more than 60 of his disciples and the fake Eight Treasure Glazed Pagoda and went to the Buddha's retreat!
After staying in a temple in northern India for a while, he took his disciples into the snow-capped mountains of Mount Everest and disappeared without a trace!
It was only because the two disciples were unwilling to follow the Zen Master of the Dry Lantern into the snow-capped mountain, so they quietly left the team, and later joined Hinduism, that the information about the whereabouts of the Zen Master of the Dry Lantern was preserved.
Moreover, Changsheng also figured out the difference between the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda of the Buddha Sect and the magic weapon of the Burning Lamp Daoist!
It is said that the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda refined by Buddhism is also a space magic weapon, which can not only enhance the power of the practitioner's mind, but also use the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda of Buddhism to sense the genuine Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda, and this is the reason why the Dry Lantern Zen Master left with the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda of Buddhism.
......
During this time, the majestic Baofeng and Xiao Wu also became familiar with each other, in addition to eating and drinking, they pestered Xiao Wu and asked Xiao Wu to tell him stories!
And at this time, Xiao Wu also saw that this great monk had a simple personality, and his mind was still as ignorant as a six- or seven-year-old child.
In the past few days, Xiao Wu has taken care of Baofeng Monk meticulously, and spoiled Baofeng Monk like a younger brother!
In this way, Monk Baofeng followed Xiao Wu inseparably.
But outside the temple, it's a different story!
After reaching an agreement with Changsheng, several prophets spread the news of Lord Shiva's imminent descent into earth in the form of folk songs!
Thus, a fabulous news began to circulate in India!
It is said that at this year's Mangseng Festival, seven prophets pray together to ask the great Lord Shiva to come down to earth and bless all Hindus.
As the ideas of democracy and freedom gradually entered the hearts of the people, the Indian people gradually woke up, and the caste system advocated by Hinduism became more and more unpopular!
Correspondingly, the foundations of Hinduism began to waver!
But now, the seven prophets were able to summon the great Lord Shiva to earth, and how could such a miracle not ecstasy the believers of the caste system, and countless Hindus rushed to the temple in Havana with their families to see Shiva in vain.
The seven prophets were equally excited, and if thousands of followers had seen Lord Shiva come to the world and preach the sermons, and then spread the news, the foundations of Hinduism would not only be unbreakable, but perhaps revitalized once again.
......
After receiving a call from Xiao Wu, Feng Ji and Xueyi, who were playing in Hanoi, immediately terminated the trip, entered India non-stop with San'er, and hurried to the location that Xiao Wu said!
"What kind of state are you talking about?"
"Havana!" Feng Ju took out his flashlight, looked at the map, and said, "We are still more than a hundred kilometers from Havana, and we will be there tomorrow morning!"
Xueyi hugged San'er, stood on the mountain beam, looked at the countless pedestrians under the mountain, held torches and hurried overnight, and wondered, "Why are so many people rushing overnight?"
"I don't know!" Feng Ju put away the map, also looked at the Indian people who were hurrying away, and then looked at the torches winding in the distance, and frowned secretly, "Moreover, the destination of these people seems to be Havana, could it be that Changsheng has encountered some danger?"
"Impossible!" San'er opened her hazy eyes and replied, "Listening to the tone of the fifth sister, it doesn't look like she has encountered any danger!"
"Since it's not in danger, why is the little fifth sister in a hurry to urge us to come?"
"Hmph, do you think that the fifth sister is urging you, she is urging me!" San'er snorted proudly and said, "That guy Ling Feng is cunning and treacherous, without me, do you think the two of them can track Ling Feng's traces?"
"Yes, yes, you're amazing!" said Xueyi grinned!
As Xueyi spoke, he greeted a wind and clouds, and his wings spread out, rushing along the deep mountains towards Havana!
Having to constantly check the map and avoid the countless people who traveled along the way, the speed of the wind and snow clothes was not very fast, and it took several hours of rapid travel to reach the vicinity of the holy mountain in Havana.
At this time, the entire holy mountain was covered with countless people, not to mention the winding mountain road, even if it was a mountain beam or ravine, there was no place to stay!
Xueyi looked in amazement at the people all over the mountains, these people dragged their families and sat on the ground, most of them were ordinary Indian people, and some were even in rags!
There was a young man with a backpack on the side of the road, and he took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack to sell, but unfortunately most of the people here were poor, and the young man could not sell it at all, so he could only pass through the black crowd and climb the mountain along the mountain road.
Feng Ju took Xueyi and San'er, quickly caught up with the young man, thought about it, and asked in English, "Little brother, what's going on here, what are these people doing?"
"Uh, you are foreigners?" said the young Indian with a playful look, "Didn't you come to see Lord Shiva?"
"Lord Shiva descends to earth?" said Feng Ju speechlessly, "We are here to find people!"
"You have come to the wrong place, today is the Hindu festival of Mangsang, according to legend, because of the prayer of the seven prophets, Lord Shiva will come down to earth today and meet all the Hindus!" the young Indian man smiled, looking at his expression without the slightest inclination of belief.
Feng Jue and Xue Yi glanced at each other, and said secretly, "Could it be that Xiao Wu let himself come here just to watch that god descend to earth? Impossible, absolutely impossible! So, what happened to Xiao Wu and Changsheng?"
Leaving the Indian youth, Feng Ju and Xueyi discussed Xiao Wu's purpose in a low voice, only San'er pursed his lips and said nonchalantly, "Don't think about it, it must be Changsheng who is making trouble again......"
"You mean, the ...... of immortality," Feng Ju said this, glanced at the fanatical Hindus around him, and lowered his voice and said, "Call Xiao Wu!"
While contacting Xiao Wu, the three of them rushed through the crowd of black oppressors and rushed to the holy mountain!
More than an hour later, I saw Xiao Wu on the side of the mountain road below the temple square, and Xiao Wu was still standing next to Zen Master Baoyue and Monk Baofeng.
The moment he saw San'er, Monk Baofeng suddenly showed a frightened look, flew backwards in fright, and knocked down five or six people in a row, as if San'er was a demon and a monster!
Xueyi rushed forward with San'er in her arms and asked, "Little Fifth Sister, who are they?"
Xiao Wu didn't expect that this somewhat stupid monk Baofeng would be so afraid of San'er, and said, "This is Baoyue Zen Master, that is Baoyue Zen Master's junior brother Baofeng!"
Feng Jue, Xueyi and Baoyue Zen Master greeted each other, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong with you, why are you in a hurry to come to us?"
"You'll know in a while, come with me first!" Xiao Wu smiled awkwardly and walked to a towering mountain rock next to him!
This mountain rock is more than ten meters high, like an erected arm, Xiao Wu climbed the mountain rock with wind and snow clothes!
Look around and you'll see the entire temple, the huge square, and most of the mountain!
Below the rocks, countless Hindus looked at the three people on the rocks with envy, but unfortunately the rocks were too steep and there were no extremely high skills or ropes, so it was impossible to climb the rocks!
Strangely, Zen Master Baoyue and Monk Baofeng also did not climb the mountain rock, standing in the black crowd and looking at the temple in the distance.
Standing on the mountain rock, Xiao Wu told Xueyi about his plan for immortality, and he frowned when he heard it!
San'er replied with a smile, "Hehe, I'm not wrong, that guy loves to cause trouble!"
"San'er, Changsheng didn't do it right this time!" Xue Yi complained, "Changsheng shouldn't be a tiger fighter!"
"Indeed!" Feng Ju nodded, and continued, "The caste system has become a cancer that hinders the development of India, and this system is not only inhuman, but also unfair! You see, the poor Shudras did not even dare to climb the holy mountain, because they thought that only Brahmins and Kshatriyas were qualified to climb the holy mountain and worship in front of the temple...... The imprisonment of people's hearts by this kind of system is really terrible?"
"Yes!" Xue Yi frowned and said, "And Changsheng is also a little strange, do you remember that when we were in Miaojiang, Changsheng didn't let those Miaojiang people kneel down, why did he suddenly agree to those bad people and deceive countless people?"
"What does Xueyi mean that Changsheng has other plans?"
"I don't know, I just think it's a little weird!"
In the early morning when the sun is shining, the whole temple is bathed in golden sunlight, which looks more and more sacred and majestic!
The square is surrounded by a circle of towering platforms, which are divided into more than a dozen floors, and there are tens of thousands of Indian men and women standing on them!
The people who can stand on the platform are at least the Kshatriya class, not to mention the lowest Shudras, even the Vaishyas are not qualified, and can only kneel on the square, or on the mountain peaks outside the square!
Further away on the mountainside and under the mountain, there are hundreds of thousands of Shudras who have come to make a pilgrimage, and the black pressure covers a range of dozens of miles.
Suddenly, the gate of the palace on the second floor of the temple opened, and a group of guards stood in front of the gate in two rows!
Suddenly, the whole sacred mountain resounded with the sound of a tsunami of blessings and a tsunami, and the sound spread from near to far!
Tens of thousands of people prostrate down on the Kshatriyas, and under the guidance of some Brahmin clergy, they prostrate one after another!
From a distance, it looks like a wave-like tide, accompanied by the sound of prayers from the mountains and tsunamis, and the whole temple looks even more sacred and majestic.
