377 Chapter 377: The Temple
Actually, there was no joke when he saw sorrow, and Xie Buchen also said it very seriously.
Both of them knew the true meaning of each of each other's words, so at this moment, they just looked at each other like this, as if they wanted to see each other thoroughly in this short moment.
But no one said anything more on the subject.
She's the one who puts it down and never picks it up again, and she's the one who never regrets doing it.
What turns back and what retreats have nothing to do with them.
And their choice is much more straightforward and decisive than that.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, and when they spoke again, they changed the subject.
Xie Buchen asked, "Do you have any plans to go to the temple before sunset tomorrow?"
Seeing sorrow, he asked, "Don't you have any plans?"
"The matter between you and me, the people on the periphery of the snowy region, and even Huaisuke don't know about it. But before I tried to speak, Mocha knew a thing or two. Come to think of it, the people in the temple would know better. ”
Xie Buchen paused and glanced at the monks at the entrance of the cave.
"But there are many dangers in the temple, and if you don't want to take risks, the safest thing to do is to search for souls, and you should know a lot about it. ”
Soul Seeker Moga?
This is too hypocritical to say.
Xie Buchen obviously has other plans. They are going to the temple now because of his sudden "rescue" that day at the inn.
Moga may know something, but it's not just for the truth.
The accidents of the two disciples of Yashan Kunwu on the left and right are the sins of the new secret work, which is nothing more than the difference in the cause and means. The people of Fudao Mountain, or Yashan, are the most feared by Xie Buchen and Kunwu.
She had already thought clearly when she set off.
Wherever Xie Buchen wants to go, she will follow.
What about the temple?
Maybe Hengxu, maybe Xie Buchen, has his own layout and purpose over there, but he is not without nothing over there.
Even......
Maybe when you get there, it's the real "battlefield".
So she squinted her eyes and laughed: "Since they have all been exhausted and mixed in, it is really a bit of a waste of previous effort to search for souls at this time." When I arrived in the snowy region, how could I not go to see the temple? I was still a little curious about the snowy Son Shanya. ”
It seems that she is determined to follow her all the way.
For Xie Buchen, this is by no means good news.
If you get along for a while, you will have a little more love, and with this, your demons will also grow a little more.
Hengxu Zhenren asked him to come to the snow region, although he gave him the news of Jiu Suspicion, but at the same time, it also indirectly made Jianchou follow him and walk all the way.
His demons, this righteous leader, are clear.
I just don't know—
In today's situation, is it intentional or unintentional?
"Since you have made up your mind when you see the sorrows, you will enter the temple tomorrow. It's just that the snow region has severed the possibility of contact with Zuo Sanqian. When I arrived at the temple, it was nearly dusk, and I was afraid that without you and I would have time to investigate, we would not be able to meet and discuss that night. It should be the night after tomorrow, and then I will ask you to come to me. ”
Xie Buchen said slowly and got up.
"But if it's tough, you and I don't have to force it. The upper five sects have sent people such as Playboy, Lu Xiangleng and others to Zen Buddhism to investigate, and they set off almost at the same time as us, and most of them have already arrived in Zen Buddhism, or have gained something......"
Such as Playboy, Lu Xiangleng and others......
For what Xie Buchen said earlier, he was careless when he saw his worries. Her cultivation is higher, and even when she reaches the temple, her actions will be more convenient than Xie Buchen's, so Xie Buchen said that there was nothing wrong with her going to her.
But when it came to such as Playboy and Lu Xiangleng, her thoughts were a little trance-like.
She and Xie Buchen went to the snowy region, such as Playboy and Lu Xiangleng, Xiahou Yu, etc., and went to Zen Buddhism.
I don't know, what's going on over there?
*
The snowy region is blowing and snowing, but it is also in the northern region, and the west sea is sparsely moonlit.
On the Cangtai Mountain not far from the sea, there is a high mountain gate, the word "Zen" is simply and simply engraved on it, and the wide square and the tall and magnificent halls behind the mountain gate are in.
The golden glazed tiles are shrouded in moonlight, with a layer of moist soft light.
In the Zen courtyard at the back, many monks have not yet fallen asleep, and the lights are lit in the rooms.
There are also some figures walking through the darkness, perhaps holding scriptures in their hands, perhaps turning rosaries, and walking with calmness and peace, and they should have only come back from evening class.
The trees on all sides are mostly bodhi, with small oval leaves, casting dense and gapy shadows on the ground.
In the rather spacious Zen room, the playboy stood in front of the window, looking out for a while.
In the window position behind him, Lu Xiangleng, Xiahou Yu, and Longmen Zhou Chengjiang, who came in with him, sat in the same place.
The one who made tea on the main seat was a great monk.
The red robe worn during the day has faded, and only the usual dark yellow monk's robe is worn.
A round face is slightly chubby, without half a wrinkle, white and red, and the complexion is excellent. The eyes are even more black and divine, giving people a sense of profundity, which can be combined with the rest of the facial features, revealing the childlike itself.
He washed the tea and refilled it.
didn't look up, as if he had taken in all the actions of the playboy, he laughed: "Amitabha, the donor has been watching it for a long time, and it seems that he has an understanding?"
"It's an understanding. ”
When the playboy heard this, he turned around, looked at the skillful movements of the monk when making tea, and wondered in his heart what kind of treatment it was to be personally entertained by this one and make tea with his own hands. But it was not revealed on the face, and he continued to talk nonsense casually.
"I heard the name of Zen Buddhism early, and I saw it in person today, and I didn't see much else, I just thought that Feng Shui was good. ”
That's a joke.
But the monk who made the tea didn't mind at all, and even the smile on his face didn't change, and after two breaths, he slowly poured out the tea, poured it into the tea bowl one by one, and distributed it in front of everyone.
"Before moving north, it was calculated that the snowy region was the best choice, but later the two Zen and Mi sects split, so they chose this place instead. On Feng Shui, well, it's not good, it's not bad. ”
It is worthy of being the head of the three masters of Zen Buddhism.
Sitting in front of everyone, it is not a bystander, it is the famous Zen monk Yichen, the first in the seventh heavenly monument of the nineteen continents, the first person in the return to the void period, known as the "heart master".
Although, whether it is such as Playboy or others, there is something incomprehensible about this.
Although the Yichen monk is powerful, he is not the abbot with the highest status in Zen Buddhism, and the second is not the highest cultivation among the "three masters"-
In terms of status, he is inferior to the abbot of the innocent;
In terms of cultivation, he is difficult to defeat Zen Master Xuelang.
How can you be ranked first among the three divisions?
Listening to him now, the doubts in the playboy's heart came out again. But he also knew that there was something going on today, and in this Zen Buddhism, he always felt that it was not very appropriate to be too dissolute, so he didn't say much, but sat back in his place.
Lu Xiangleng is the first on the left, with an elegant posture when tasting tea, obviously a middle and high master;
Xiahou pardoned a young man with a cold face and no expression, drinking tea or drinking tea, he couldn't tell the difference between being stupid and stupid;
As for Zhou Chengjiang, he was sitting upright, and he was the most normal person among the four of them, and he tasted it carefully, and he could see his respect for the dusty monk in front of him from his demeanor.
In the end, the Longmen body refining method is very strong, but in Buddhism, especially Zen Buddhism, it is nothing.
When he came here, he may not have had the slightest intention of asking for advice.
For example, when the playboy looked at it, he took everyone's mood in his eyes, and he also thanked the monk for his tea and took a few sips.
After the third brew of tea, he put down the teacup and opened it again.
"When we came, you had already prepared tea for you, so you must have known what we were here for. ”
"The head of Hengxu and the elder of Fudao have already communicated this matter to the poor monk first. ”
Monk Yichen did not deny it, and also put down the tea cup.
He looked at the four outstanding disciples of the three thousand upper five sects in the middle domain in front of him, as well as the two geniuses of Yashan Kunwu, who did not come this time but were rumored to be very powerful, so he naturally remembered those who were unsuccessful and mischievous in his own sect.
For a while, I only felt aggrieved and sour.
But when it comes to what I'm going to ask this time, it's a bit of a stretch.
Yichen pondered for a moment, and said: "It's not a secret, before the accident of the two disciples of Yashan Kunwu Sect, my Zen Sect also sent some people out, but it was not simply to investigate the situation in the snowy region, but to intervene in the dispute between the old and new secrets. ”
Everyone was stunned, no one expected Monk Yichen to say this!
You must know that when Buddhism moved north and the two Zen sects split, the entire Zen sect was at an absolute disadvantage. Since the eleventh Jiazi, the face has been old and dead, and no one cares about anyone!
Now they suddenly say that they have begun to intervene in the dispute between the old and new schools of Tantra?
But Monk Yichen didn't say anything scary to himself, and he smiled kindly and shyly: "I have many branches of Buddhism, and although the Tantra sect ran away together, there is no problem. But once you get to the snowy region, it's already in its own right. The contradiction when they were under the name of Buddhism came out before, and even if they were in Tantra, they had different views on Buddhism. So there are two factions: the old and the new. Among them, the old tantra is closer to the orthodoxy of Buddhism in the eyes of Zen Buddhism, and the new tantric ......"
When he said this, Monk Yichen seemed to hesitate for a moment, looking for a suitable description.
I just shook my head in the end.
"As for Xinmi, it is not even a foreign way, and it cannot be classified into Buddhism as early as the time of the split, but it still retains that name. ”
These words are ruthless enough, and they simply removed Xinmi from Buddhism.
Several people all raised their heads and glanced at Monk Yichen, but after all, they were juniors, and they couldn't intervene in the grievances and Buddhist arguments of these seniors, they just felt ......
I can vaguely understand why the white and chubby person in front of him is the head of the three masters of Zen Buddhism.
However, Monk Yichen was looked at by them like this, with a look of shame, and waved his hand: "Oh, it's too much to say, it's embarrassing for you to look at the poor monk like this, let's talk about business." ”
“……”
Why didn't they see any genuine "embarrassment" on his face?
But after all, the other party is a respected monk, and everyone really doesn't dare to say this, so they just listen to it.
"Anyway, I've been sent out by Zen Buddhists for a while. It's just not a particularly opportune time. ”
Monk Yichen shook his head with some regret as he spoke.
"Our sect has a special way to contact the Snow Domain, but a few days ago, the new secret faction had defeated the old secret by a large margin. Our little apprentice said that he had found something strange over there that looked like a demon, but it was just ......"
"Just?"
When it comes to stopping at a critical moment, it can really make people sick in a hurry.
For example, the playboy was very curious about what Monk Yichen said next, but the turn in this kind of words is generally not a particularly good clue: "Is something wrong?"
"Well, it's true that something happened, but it's really hard to talk about......"
When Monk Yichen said this, his tone was hesitant, and he raised his hand and bit his finger slowly, as if there were really thousands of entanglements.
As the playboy watched, the corners of his eyes jumped, with his profligate and unafraid of anything, at this moment, he somehow felt a chill on his upper body, almost making the corners of his mouth twitch.
But Monk Yichen seemed to be in a trance about this, and it took a long time before he put his hand down, revealing a sincere smile that was still shy.
"Our little apprentice who went to the snowy region is empty, and it seems to be gone......"
No, it's gone?!
If the playboy is glad that he didn't drink tea, otherwise he would have sprayed it now!
“…… Are you talking about the 'Little Wisdom Monk' of your sect who was once ranked first in the Triple Heavenly Monument and has now broken through the Yuan Infant?"
"Hmmm......"
Monk Yichen nodded awkwardly, but felt that admitting it like this would damage the reputation of Zen Buddhism, so he subconsciously pointed his fingers and added.
"But we're trying to find it, Senior Brother Innocent and Senior Brother Xuelang, they should ...... It's almost time for results...... Right?"
“……”
It's better not to make up for this sentence.
The four people sitting in front of Yichen Monk, at this moment, all showed indescribable expressions, and while looking at this Zen monk, they all felt boundless sympathy for the "little Hui monk" who had not yet met......
*
What should I do with empty energy?
He's also helpless.
He was originally following the Zen sect to support the monks of the old secret, and there was nothing wrong along the way. But one day, when he was resting in a mountain range to the west of the snowy region, he saw a large black mist rushing through the depths of the earth's leylines.
Thinking of the strange state of Xinmi during that time, everyone naturally felt that it was different.
So I chased it out, and then chased it out.
At first, Sora walked to the front, but they seemed to have been spotted by the black mist. And so, the thing of no wonder rolled up at them, and their eyes went black, and they could no longer make out the direction.
I can't even call on the most basic spiritual sense!
The whole person was extremely weak at that moment and became an ordinary person.
This is also the reason why it is very helpless now-
There is no way to use the spiritual sense, the Sumeru ring can't be opened, not to mention, except for a red sandalwood rosary that automatically protects the body and conceals the breath, most of the magic weapons on the body can't be used......
Contacting the teacher? is pure dreaming!
At this moment, he didn't know what the situation was on the Zen side, let alone what the situation was with his fellow disciples.
All he knew was that he might be in big trouble.
The bustling streets are full of pilgrims.
He was wearing a somewhat dirty tantric crimson monk's robe, and because he was not used to revealing half of his arms, he kept covering it, and his whole posture looked nondescript.
A delicate face with a pair of clean eyes embedded in it, but the facial expression looks very weird.
Because he saw the mountain!
Even though he had never been to the snowy region before, he knew the appearance of this mountain and the appearance of the temple on the top of the mountain.
He had read the Zen texts on Tantra more than a thousand times!
O Buddha!
What kind of joke is he, he just had a little positive friction with the black fog! As soon as his eyes opened and closed, the person fainted, and when he closed his eyes again, he actually arrived at the holy mountain?!
Fools know that this is already the core area of the entire Snowy Tantra!
No, no......
How does it feel like it's over?
"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south......"
The man found a corner and leaned against it, and he was so frightened that he pinched the rosary and trembled, and his mouth was full of muttering.
"Now there is only one little monk, but he has already arrived here, what should I do? What should I do? Will I continue to pretend? Or will I find someone to knock me out and ask about the situation? How can the little monk return to Zen Buddhism...... Ah, there is also cultivation ......"
Thanks to the people on this street, no one noticed him.
After all, this is at the foot of the holy mountain, and there are a lot of believers and monks who come and go every day.
Sora doesn't really think he's smart.
There are many things he doesn't understand, whether it's in cultivation, or in Buddhism, or even in the fact that others call himself a "little wisdom monk".
After cultivating for so many years, he felt that he was still the little novice of the year.
Well......
A little novice with a lot of luck.
I chanted a lot of useless words, from Manjushri to Shakyamuni, from Guanyin to Amitabha, but I still didn't come up with any solution to the problem.
"Alas. He looked up at the clear blue sky behind him, sighed, and muttered quietly, "If only I could meet an acquaintance here......
If you were a fool here, you would know that this is simply not a possible situation.
After all, Sora had never been to the depths of the snowy region before, let alone this kind of core area that was almost only visited by tantric followers and monks with high cultivation.
He is a Zen monk, he doesn't know anyone, where did he come from?
Can......
Some things, in this empty body that is now called "Little Hui Monk", is very unreasonable.
For example, just after he finished muttering this sentence, a group of seven or eight monks with more than a dozen women came to the street not far away.
Then, there was a person inside, and immediately let Sora's gaze freeze.
This person is not an acquaintance.
But it seems to ......
More effective than acquaintances!
But the question is, how can this senior sister be considered a big figure in the epicenter of the domain now, how can she appear here?
He blinked, stood still for a moment, and just watched.
There were many believers walking around, and when everyone saw this group of people, they knew that it was the monks of the temple who had returned with the newly chosen concubine.
Some devout believers immediately knelt down to pay homage.
There were also people who were quite interested in the concubines who were walking in the back position, and their eyes wandered between them.
Sorrow is naturally among these people.
They had stopped to avoid the snow the previous night, and the snow had stopped the next morning, and although it was cold, they had to get to the temple before sunset, so Moga set off anyway.
As it was getting dark, they finally arrived at this place.
- Mandala.
This is the most prosperous city she has seen in the snowy region along the way, and it is also the real core city of the entire snowy region, which can be glimpsed from the name.
Originally, the "mandala" was a earthen altar built on the ground, similar to an altar, when Tantric Buddhism practiced Tantra, and it could summon the three Buddhas of the past, present, and future to witness the practice, and at the same time deter external demons and ensure that the monks can practice wholeheartedly.
Later, after evolution, some people regarded it as the abode of gods and Buddhas.
But in the understanding of sorrow, the meaning of the original mandala should be very similar to "dojo". And the city in front of me is also called "mandala", and its meaning is somewhat intriguing.
She thought as she walked, not paying much attention to the eyes of the people around her.
It's just that when I pass through a certain part of the street, I suddenly feel that something is not quite right.
It's like......
Whoever is looking at themselves is the same.
After all, there is already a cultivation in the late stage of the Yuan Infant, even if he gathers his spiritual sense, his perception of the surrounding world will still be much more sensitive than before.
Seeing sorrow realized that gaze almost immediately.
So he turned his head and saw the monk standing in the corner of the stone wall on the side of the street, with a strange posture and a strange expression, and his eyes were even stranger!
At that moment, she frowned quietly.
But she didn't remember meeting this person, let alone fighting him.
In my impression, the tantric monks who participated in that competition were almost dead, and there was only one sect left.
But since she didn't think she knew her, who was this monk?
The frowning brow did not loosen, but at this time, she couldn't stop in front of Moga and the others, and then ran to ask the other party if she knew her.
Isn't this looking for death?
Seeing the sorrow, he had to endure it, and silently passed the street in front of the monk, and soon, the holy mountain in the distance became clear.
The hustle and bustle of the crowd was quickly left behind.
What appeared before their eyes was the mirage they saw through the clouds and moonlight on the cliff when they first entered the snowy region.
It's just that compared to the illusion floating on the clouds at the beginning, the reality in front of you has a power that collides with the mind!
A majestic sacred mountain, covered in snow.
The slanting sun falls in the west, paving it with a layer of slightly orange-red light, adding a bit of grace and touching in the awe-inspiring coldness. The weather is excellent, and the clear blue sky is cloudless and foggy, so you can see the top of the mountain at a glance from the bottom of the mountain.
The majestic temple is like a snow sculpture made of ice, built on the top of a steep cliff, looking down on the snowy field!
It's as if all living beings are prostrate at its feet!
At this time, no one spoke.
Every girl who came on the same road, including Sang Yang, had a great shock and infinite piety in their eyes, which was a kind of sincerity that could give everything to themselves.
And the Mochah and the others hung down their proud heads before this holy mountain and temple.
Only to see sorrow......
After the initial amazement in the eyes passed, there was only an indescribable sense of surprise and a strange sense of fate that "it was time to meet here".
Because, on the spire of the temple that stood on the top of the snowy region, a familiar figure stood tall.
It seems like a long wait.
- Big demon, Fu Chaosheng.
