Chapter 488: Water and Land Puja Begins (3rd Update)

"The monks of Hokkeji Temple are here. ”

"The monks of Lingyan Temple also came. ”

"The monks of Qixia Temple have also arrived!"

……

Countless Buddhist believers, looking excited to see the monks of the famous temple enter the Guangxiao Temple, for these believers, these masters are like stars, and they are fans, how can they not be excited to see so many stars at once.

"Dean, there are too many of them. ”

In the crowd, Leng Rou was standing at the door of Guangxiao Temple with the dean, the dean is a devout Buddhist believer, this water and land festival such a grand event will naturally not be missed, but Leng Rou is not worried that the dean is alone, so she has to accompany her, but, when she saw the black pressure crowd, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly, looking at it, there must be at least thousands of people waiting, and there is a steady stream of believers coming behind, so crowded, she is afraid of any accidents.

"Xiao Rou, this water and land festival is the grandest festival in Buddhism, so naturally there will be many people who come to listen to the Dharma, and it's okay. The dean saw the worry in Leng Rou's eyes and comforted softly.

"I hope so. Leng Rou could already feel the devotion of these Buddhist believers around her, and whenever a monk walked by the railing passage on one side, these people would recite the Buddha's name, regardless of whether the monks heard it or not, in this form to show their respect.

In Guangxiao Temple, in the square under the gate of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, nearly 1,000 monks stood in it, including Mingsheng and other monks of Guangxiao Temple, as well as abbots and monks from other temples who had just entered.

In addition to these, on the square, there are also seven high altars, the largest of which is located in front of the Mahavira Hall, which is the place where the master of the water and land puja presides over the teachings.

In addition to these monks, Qin Yu and Zheng Yusen, Zheng Yue's ancestors and grandsons were also standing on one side, Zheng Yue's eyes secretly glanced at Qin Yu, and found that the other party had been staring intently at the Daxiong Treasure Hall. This made her feel a little unhappy, and she muttered to herself: "Keep pretending, and wait until the water and land puja is over to see how I expose you." ”

Qin Yu didn't pay attention to Zheng Yue beside him at this time, his eyes looked at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there was only one person in it at this time, and that was the Sixth Ancestor. All the people stood here and waited, that is, waiting for the six ancestors to come out.

When the first morning light appeared in the east, the figure of the six ancestors finally appeared at the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the six ancestors looked at the people in the square with a kind face. The monks and monks of the other temples, when they saw the Six Ancestors appear, all showed excited expressions on their faces, these Dharma Masters came to participate in the Water and Land Festival today, all because of the Six Ancestors.

Yesterday, Guangxiao Temple sounded the horn and rang the Buddha bell, the six ancestors borrowed their bodies to preach, and Master Mingsheng has notified the colleagues in the Buddhist world. Knowing that it was the six ancestors who appeared, these mages immediately went to Guangxiao Temple and came overnight, and there were more large troops coming behind.

The purpose of this is what Master Mingsheng is doing. In addition to letting the six patriarchs preach the true scriptures of Buddhism so that more people can hear them, there is also a trace of selfishness, wanting to take advantage of this to make the reputation of Guangxiao Temple go to the next level. With so many famous temples and monks, there are six ancestors sitting in the town, this water and land conference will be recorded in the history of Buddhism. And as the abbot of Guangxiao Temple, he will also leave a name in history, and even Master Mingsheng has not been able to see through it.

"I've seen the Six Ancestors!"

On the square, all the monks put their hands together and bowed to the six ancestors, and the six ancestors slowly spoke: "Six realms and four lives, suffering immeasurably, my Buddhist children have the responsibility of helping all sentient beings, all sliving beings are born in the three worlds of water, land and air, but all living beings in the sky, such as the desire realm of the sky, the color realm of the sky, the pleasure is more, only the sentient beings of the two worlds of water and land suffer more heavily, and now the great Dharma will be built on land and water, water and land without shelter, so that the undead are detached, pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, immeasurable merits, and there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!"

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south. A group of monks responded, and even many believers outside the gate of Guangxiao Temple heard the voices of the monks, and also heard the words of the six ancestors.

Standing in the crowd, only Leng Rou was at a loss, she didn't believe in Buddhism, and she didn't believe in Taoism, and at this moment she looked blankly at the crowd who bowed their heads and chanted the Buddha's name.

"Xiao Rou, this is the water and land puja is about to start, hurry up and chant the Buddha's name. It was the first time for the dean to speak to Leng Rou in such a strict tone, Leng Rou was stunned for a moment, and she had to pretend to put her hands together and chant Nan Wu Amitabha.

In the square, even Qin Yu is also clasping his hands together at this time, and there is immeasurable merit when the water and land puja is opened, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, it is essentially for the purpose of helping the world, so from this point of view, Qin Yu has no problem kneeling down with these monks.

The Sixth Ancestor walked down from the Daxiong Treasure Hall, went straight to the Great Dharma Altar, sat up cross-legged on the Great Dharma Altar, and then looked at Qin Yu with a smile on his face and said, "Little friend, please come up!"

Qin Yu scratched his head, and slowly walked towards the altar under the surprised eyes of many monks and the ancestors of the Zheng family, this is what he agreed with the sixth ancestor yesterday, he can only bite the bullet, this is a good thing, just need to be thick-skinned, Qin Yu still thinks it is quite cost-effective.

On the altar, the Sixth Ancestor pointed to a futon beside him, and Qin Yu sat cross-legged on it, and on Qin Yu's lap, Xiao Jiu's buttocks were facing the Sixth Ancestor, lying there.

When the Sixth Ancestor saw Xiao Jiu, he showed a knowing smile on his face, and he didn't say much, his eyes turned to the distant sky, and he pinched a Buddha seal with both hands, and for a while, a golden light appeared behind the head of the Sixth Ancestor.

Qin Yu was the closest to the Sixth Ancestor, and the sound of chanting was heard most clearly, as soon as this sutra sounded, his whole person became stiff, and every word of this sutra seemed to hit his heart, deafening.

"This is the Buddha preaching to the Buddhas in the Leiyin Temple, and I have a good understanding. The Sixth Ancestor whispered, his words shocked Qin Yu's whole body, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, Qin Yu no longer hesitated at the moment, calmed down, hugged Yuan Shouyi, and let himself fall into a state of emptiness, to comprehend this scripture.

"Open the temple gate!" After the sixth ancestor saw Qin Yu enter the state of emptiness, a look of approval appeared on his face, and then he turned his gaze to the gate of Guangxiao Temple, and said leisurely.

The bell of Guangxiao Temple rang again, this time, it was struck thirty-six times in a row, and Master Mingsheng personally walked to the left front brake pole of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and hung a banner with the following words: Dharma Realm Shengfan Water and Land Pudu Great Lent Victory Victory Meritorious Treasure Flag.

This flag is hung in the air, ten zhang high, all the believers outside the Guangxiao Temple can also see, seeing this flag appear, these believers began to line up in an orderly manner, waiting to enter the temple.

In ancient times, hanging the merit banner could be seen by all the Buddhist believers within a radius of ten miles and come to participate, and at night it should be replaced with a nine-lotus lamp, and the lantern was hung at night, so that those lonely souls who were lost in the darkness could come to participate in the festival and share the benefits of the Dharma.

Therefore, seeing the merit banner hanging, these Buddhist believers knew that Guangxiao Temple was about to open its door, and the water and land conference was about to open.

After Master Mingsheng finished raising the flag, he led a group of monks to hold dew and began to sprinkle dew on the futon next to the altar, which is called the water purification barrier, and the entire dojo must be sprinkled.

This step took a quarter of an hour, Master Mingsheng and others completed the purification of the entire square, and after completing this qiē, Master Mingsheng led a group of monks from Guangxiao Temple towards the temple gate, and several monks worked together to open the temple door.

"Team Xu, the temple door is open. ”

In one corner of the crowd, there were several young men and women, their hands folded and their heads bowed, but they were talking in low voices.

"Tell the members of each group to be on guard, there are a lot of people who come to participate in the water and land festival this time, don't let some extremists get in and make trouble, I will follow in first, and you leave two groups of people outside to watch. ”

Xu Qing instructed his subordinates around him while walking slowly with the crowd, this time Guangxiao Temple held a land and water conference, their police station can be said to have all the police forces dispatched, bright posts and secret sentinels, all over the crowd, the above has given a death order, must ensure that this time the land and water conference does not appear unexpectedly.

The six ancestors Hui Neng eyes like a torch, although he is outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, but his eyes seem to be able to see the scene at the door of Guangxiao Temple through the Buddha hall, when a forty-year-old man stepped into the temple, the six ancestors pinched a law decision with his left hand, and Master Mingsheng, who was standing on the side of the door, nodded his head and threw a look at the two warrior monks beside him, the two warrior monks one left and one right, and suddenly caught the middle-aged man, and directly brought the middle-aged man aside.

"What are you doing, I'm here for the puja, what do you want to do?"

The man was caught by the two warrior monks, and he was a little panicked and began to scream, and the crowd suddenly became commotion.

"Those who worship the Buddha, beware of being pious, their hearts are not sincere, their hearts are ill-intentioned, I am a Buddha. The Sixth Patriarch sat on the altar and spoke slowly, not loudly, but it was heard by everyone at the entrance of the temple.

These people who came to participate in the water and land puja were all Buddhist believers, and as soon as they heard the words of the six ancestors, they immediately became calm, and continued to enter the temple gate in an orderly manner, as for the middle-aged man, there was a decadent look on his face, because the two warrior monks had already found a bottle of gasoline on him.

"Team Xu, at the gate of the temple, those monks have caught an unscrupulous element who intended to ignite the fire, and he has been charged. Xu Qing followed behind the large army, so she couldn't see the scene of the temple, but she still felt the commotion that happened in front of her, and the voice of the six ancestors also reached her ears, which made Xu Qing's face show a look of horror.

Who is this monk who spoke, he is so powerful, he can see who has bad intentions from so far away, and Xu Qing found that there seemed to be magic in this monk's words, and the commotion of the crowd all regained their calm after hearing this.
