Chapter 1097: The Battle Begins (5 more)
1097
"When I came here ten years ago, I could only take a car into the mountains, and at that time I had to drive for two days and two nights to drive, because there were too many mountains here, too high, but now it is much better than before, there are helicopters, and you can fly directly to the Buddha source. Shikong said with a smile.
"Whose plane does this belong to?" Xu Taiping asked curiously.
"It was bought by the four major Buddhist sects together, and it was specially used to enter and exit the Buddha source. Shikong said.
"What is the source of the Buddha?" asked Xu Taiping.
"Buddha source, it's nothing. Shikong gave an answer that didn't make much sense in Xu Taiping's opinion.
Buddhism and the Holy See are the two largest religions in the world.
Buddhism is much larger than the Chinese Martial Arts Association, and the reason why Shaolin Temple joins the Chinese Martial Arts Association is mainly because Shaolin Temple is just a small part of Buddhism.
There are four Buddhist sects in the world, and the most powerful is the Curry Country Buddhism, the Curry Country Buddhism, which is the national religion by the Curry Country, whether it is the number of believers or the strong, far exceeds the Shaolin Temple.
Shaolin Temple is second only to the Curry Country Buddhism, the third is the foot basin country Buddhism, and the second is the secret Buddhism.
Among the four major Buddhist sects, the secret Buddhism is the most mysterious, because the secret Buddhist disciples are some ascetics who walk in the world, their temples are scattered in the mountains and mountains of Tibet, and the environment is very harsh, and the Buddhist disciples who grew up in such a harsh environment have far more devotion to the Buddha than other Buddhist sects.
Xu Taiping doesn't know much about Buddhism, one is because in China, Shaolin Temple is not strong, although there are many disciples, but Shaolin Temple is only a small part of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, and the other is because the influence of Buddhism in the world is far inferior to the Holy See, and it is meaningless to know too many Buddhist things.
The helicopter flew rapidly.
The snow-capped mountains are at the foot of Xu Taiping, and the average altitude of these snow-capped mountains is more than 4,000 meters, which is a forbidden area for ordinary people.
It is hard to imagine that thousands of years ago, the Buddha would have been born in such a snow-capped mountain.
To be honest, Xu Taiping felt unlikely, after all, no one would come to such a ghost place to enlighten the Tao.
It took about an hour or so to fly.
The helicopter began to lower its altitude and flew directly into the snowy mountains.
After flying in the snow-capped mountains for about five minutes, a huge sea appeared in front of Xu Taiping.
The so-called Haizi is a pool on the mountain.
This sea is very beautiful, with rippling blue waves, and the water surface is glowing with bursts of turquoise light.
On the edge of Haizi is a tree that Xu Taiping can't name, the tree is not the kind of towering tree, the height is about three or four meters high, the branches are not luxuriant, I think it should be because of the climate, so it can't grow.
At this time, there were already many people gathered on the edge of this sea, including monks from the Curry Kingdom wearing red and yellow monks' robes, secret monks wearing gray and black monks' robes, and even monks from the Foot Basin Kingdom wearing white robes.
Not many monks from each branch came, only two or three.
The helicopter landed on the edge of Haizi, and the water surface of Haizi was constantly rippling.
Shikong and Xu Taiping stepped down from the helicopter, and then walked to the tree not far away.
The people who were originally scattered around Haizi saw Shikong and Xu Taiping appear, and they all walked towards the tree together.
"This is the source of the Buddha?" Xu Taiping asked curiously.
"Well, it was here that the Buddha realized the Dharma. Shikong explained with a smile.
"Isn't it under the Bodhi tree in the curry country?" asked Xu Taiping.
"That's just one of the Buddha's disciples. Shikong said.
"Interesting. Xu Taiping said with a smile.
Shikong smiled, then looked at the monks who were walking in, and whispered to Xu Taiping, "The abbot told me before leaving, let me tell you, no matter who you fight, don't kill anyone, no matter which branch of the Buddha sect, although the cultivation methods are different, and they have also fought with each other for countless years, but the four branches of the Buddha sect all have the same origin and the same root, so, no matter what, remember, you must not kill people." ”
"Understood!" Xu Taiping nodded.
At this time, all the surrounding monks came to the tree.
"Amitabha. The monks of the foot basin country were the first to greet Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping, a fake monk, naturally followed Amitabha.
In fact, it is not right to say that Xu Taiping is a fake monk, after all, Xu Taiping is really shaved, whether it is for the sake of learning or something else, shaved over, even if he is a monk.
The monk of the Curry Country was more arrogant, standing aside, looking at Xu Taiping coldly, without speaking, while the monk of the secret Buddhist sect had no expression from beginning to end.
Looking at the somewhat deserted scene in front of him, Xu Taiping felt a little surprised, according to what he thought, this Boruo Heart Sutra, that is also a very important thing in Buddhism, or no dust will not beg him to represent the Shaolin Temple to snatch the Bo Ruo Heart Sutra, competing for such an important thing, in Xu Taiping's view, how can it be called a few hundred people on both sides, and then gather in which mountains and rivers are beautiful, and then everyone sets up a battle, each sends a master, in front of the world's heroes, and then compares with each other, but there are no people, there are about ten people here, Xu Taiping is leading the way here is Shikong, although he is a Shaolin disciple, but it is definitely not a high-level, on the other hand, the others are similar, basically there are two people from a Buddhist sect, and there are more people from the curry country, with three people, and the total number of people adds up to nine people.
Nine people, in such a deserted place, are fighting for the cold and deserted Boruo Heart Sutra, which is a little too unserious, right?
"Do you think there are too few people?" Shikong seemed to see Xu Taiping's doubts and asked.
"Indeed, the battle is too small!" Xu Taiping said.
"Monks, pay attention to the world, Bo Ruo Heart Sutra contention, there is already a contention, naturally it is not a thing to see the light, so there is no teacher to move the public. Shikong said.
"In that case, let's talk about it, isn't it good that the Bo Ruo Heart Sutra will be kept in turn?" asked Xu Taiping.
"I don't know. Shikong shook his head and said, "Anyway, starting from many young people, every few years, there will be a battle for the Boruo Heart Sutra, and the winning side can keep the Boruo Heart Sutra until the next competition." ”
"The magic of Zhente Niang. Xu Taiping couldn't help but sigh, and then asked, "How to fight at that moment?"
"The abbot said that two by two, the winner will fight again, and the one who wins in the end can get the Boruo Heart Sutra. Shikong said.
At this moment, the monk of the Curry Country suddenly spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, our Buddha Sect of the Curry Country has won the Boruo Heart Sutra for more than 100 years, I don't think there is any need to fight today, because this is a waste of time, no matter how you fight, you... None of them can be my opponents. ”
Hearing such arrogant words from the monks of the Curry Country, Xu Taiping did not have much reaction, he secretly glanced at the people of the Secret Buddha Sect and the Buddha Sect of the Foot Basin Country, and found that the people of the Secret Buddha Sect were always expressionless, while the people of the Buddha Sect of the Foot Basin Country had always had a slight smile.
The person who looked at this smile was very comfortable, as if bathed in spring light, but, I don't know why, Xu Taiping felt that this smiling monk of the foot basin country was estimated to be more difficult to deal with than the arrogant monk of the curry country.
The monk of the Curry Country seemed to be a little annoyed when he saw that there was no one to bird him, and he frowned and said, "It seems that no one is willing to listen to my persuasion, so forget it, since everyone has arrived, then please invite the contenders to come out." ”
Xu Taiping took a step forward, and then, on the side of the foot basin country, among the two monks, the monk who loved to laugh was only about one meter six in height also took a step forward with a smile, and as for the secret Buddhist sect, a monk with a dark face walked out.
"My Dharma name, Bir. The monk of the curry country smiled and said, "Burier, in our language, means eternal sun. ”
"Dama. The monk of the secret Buddha said expressionlessly.
"Gosen. The monk of the Buddha Sect of the Foot Basin Country said with a smile.
"Shi Lianchen. Xu Taiping said, since he wants to be the representative of Shaolin Temple, Xu Taiping naturally wants to use his own legal name.
At the beginning, Xu Taiping really wasted a lot of effort in order to think of this law name, and finally thought of such a domineering and leaky law name.
Of course, domineering side leakage is just Xu Taiping's own feeling.
After all four of them have introduced themselves to each other, the Curry Monk who was the winner of the last battle is qualified to choose his opponent.
Bu Rier looked at the three people in front of him, and then raised his hand and pointed at the Buddha of the Foot Basin Country Buddha Sect and said, "You, be my opponent." ”
"Okay. Gozan smiled and nodded.
Xu Taiping looked at Dama and said, "Then my opponent is you." ”
Dharma looked at Xu Taiping and didn't say anything.
"It's really indifferent. Xu Taiping said secretly, and then said, "Who will fight first?"
"Naturally, we came first. Of course, the reason why he chose to fight first was not because the Curry Country Buddha Sect was the winner of the last battle, but mainly because if you fought first, you would have a longer rest time after the fight.
A longer rest time means more recovery, and when it comes to the decisive battle, you will have more physical strength.
Since Bu Rier chose to fight first, Xu Taiping and Dama could only retreat to the side first.
Xu Taiping and Shikong sat on the ground.
The ground was full of gravel, and it was uncomfortable to sit on, but it was better than standing.
Bu Ri Er and Wu Shen stood opposite each other, Bu Ri Er's face with a kind of pride that Xu Taiping rarely saw on the faces of monks, perhaps because of the relationship between the monks in the curry country and a profession, so the monks in the curry country are more secular people, whether it is words or demeanor, they are no different from ordinary people, and there is no feeling of a monk at all.
With the mutual bowing of Burier and Wushen, this very cold battle for the Boruo Heart Sutra kicked off.
Who will be the ultimate winner, at the moment, no one knows.
