Chapter 212: Magic Competition
[Recommend my new book "The Building Will Fall", I personally think that it can still be read!]
The first half of the Xuandu Guan Dharma Festival can be described as nothing to look at, not only Xu Chen, who can't be saved by the gods and Buddhas, but even the most devout Taoists dare not say with a clear conscience that this complicated sacrificial process is more exciting than everything that happens next.
Li Longji, who was sitting on the main platform, had a haggard face, but his spirit was extremely excited, and he had obviously just taken drugs.
Sitting with him on the royal throne was the noble concubine Yang Yuhuan, although Li Longji had not seen Yang Yuhuan in the past two months, but on such a formal occasion today, it was impossible to bring the nameless Mrs. Qiu Guo to attend.
Yang Yuhuan dressed up carefully, and she looked more flowery, but the heavy smell of incense powder on her body was comparable to the virgin fragrance of Mrs. Qiu Guo, and even the gouache on her face, which originally made Li Longji want to stop, has become a cover for the wrinkles between her eyebrows at this moment, and it is very different from Mrs. Qiu Guo's girlish skin.
Men, how many don't like young women?
What's more, it is this kind of Fengyue master with a girl's body, on the one hand, the innocence of a girl, and on the other hand, the charm of a mature woman.
Compared with such an anti-heaven existence, what are the four beauties?
What's more, Mrs. Qiu Guo is only a little worse than Yang Yuhuan when she was young in terms of appearance, and now that she is hanging, Yang Yuhuan, a beauty who can make peony flowers dare not bloom, suddenly became scum.
Yang Yuhuan felt Li Longji's indifference, and his heart was sad.
The first half of the puja became an ordeal.
When the Xuandu Guanguan Lord Yuanxu Zhenren took the sacrificial Qingzi from Li Longji and burned it, the puja meeting to worship Kong Shengzhen ended.
At this moment, Li Longji's interest was even greater.
The half-month buzzing fighting conference is finally about to begin!
"Thanks to all the Taoist friends who came to watch the ceremony, the poor Dao is here to thank you!" Yuan Xuzhen danced lightly and brushed the dust, raised one palm, and bowed slightly.
On the public viewing platform, monks, nuns, bishops, etc. returned the salute one after another.
"There are 3,000 Taoisms, and different paths lead to the same ......"
Yuanxu Zhenren is worthy of being the master of the Royal Taoist Temple, and his wrist is no worse than that of the high-ranking officials in the court.
No matter how you make trouble in the future, the means you use are all in my Taoism!
Of course, the monks were the most unhappy, as a local great sect, the presiding master of Xingshan Temple represented the Tang Buddhist world, and frowned when he heard this.
However, I like to like the Buddha today, and now I am in other people's territory, so I have to endure it.
"If you want to argue the law, then come to the stage to argue!"
Magic Contest ...... Oh no!
As the host, the Taoist family is the last to play, and who is the first to play, everyone is thinking carefully.
Buddhism naturally wants to take the lead, but the masters have always had no desire and no desire, and now if they are rushing to get ahead, wouldn't they be too eager for quick success?
The two giants of Buddhism and Taoism are reluctant to come forward, and other small local sects also want to grab the jackpot, but the religious war does not only take place in the Western Regions, but there are also many religious conflicts in the Tang Dynasty, among which the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is the most prosperous.
As long as it does not affect ordinary people, the imperial court has always held an attitude of watching the fire from the other side of the strait when it comes to religious conflicts.
No matter how many monks and Taoist priests died, the court would not be heartbroken, anyway, these outsiders not only did not pay taxes, but also wantonly encroached on fertile land, hoarded gold and silver, and it would be better to die a few more.
For other small sects, in addition to the pressure from the imperial court, they also had to face the suppression of the two giants of Buddhism and Taoism.
If you want to eat in Datang, how can you not have a good relationship with the two bigwigs?
Now the picture is happy for a while, refuting the face of the big guy, and it is good to look back!
The local sects are still there, but the foreign sects do not have these scruples, among which the Bon sect from Tibet is the most arrogant.
In these years, Tubo relied on the geographical advantages of the plateau and did not take anyone seriously, and the border conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty lasted for a hundred years, although he had just suffered a defeat in Shibao City a while ago, but he also killed the famous Tang Dynasty general Wang Zhonghei.
With a stone city that can be recaptured sooner or later in exchange for a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo really doesn't feel at a loss.
"Since you fellow Daoists are so polite, then the poor monk will be ugly!"
The short and fat monk with a beard ascended the altar, and the treasure solemnly recited a tantric scripture.
If you dare to come to the ring, how can you not have some real skills?
Many of the dignitaries and ordinary people who watched the ceremony also believed in Buddhism, and they were also very fascinated by the lectures of the great monks at this moment.
Xu Chen was already about to fall asleep, and the chicken's rice-pecking head went up and down......
"Huh!" Guo Keying slapped him on the back and said angrily: "So disrespectful, I'm not afraid of the gods to blame!"
"I've seen all the real immortals, are you still afraid of these fake immortals?" Xu Chen yawned and rubbed his eyes.
Why haven't you started yet?
Let's not talk about the main drama, let's have some magic shows to refresh yourself!
As if hearing the call of his heart, the great monk on the altar stopped preaching.
As soon as he stopped talking, the host of Xingshan Temple stood up and prepared to be the second to play.
Since someone has already started, he, the big guy, can't let the younger brother take the lead.
It just so happened that the great monk of Tibet was also talking about Buddhist scriptures, and after him, he said a more profound scripture to compare him, and it was not difficult for him to be empty at all.
However, as if knowing his thoughts, the great Tibetan monk who was still on the altar showed a hint of sneer, and then folded his hands again, and then his mouth opened and closed quickly, and one by one notes came out of his mouth that he couldn't understand.
Immediately afterwards, everyone in the Xuanduguan Square saw that the body of the great monk sitting cross-legged suddenly rose up little by little, and at the same time, a lotus flower under the buttocks quickly bloomed, and the lotus platform appeared......
Whether it was dignitaries or ordinary people, everyone was stunned!
In addition to the master of the void, the master of the void is confused!
"What's the matter? The Fighting Law Conference won't come to this set, right? What are you going to do if you tell me to wait? Do you want the Arhats to come on stage and play a set of Arhat sticks?"
"Good!"
Only the square with the sound of Sanskrit suddenly burst into a cheer, followed by a chaotic clapping......
The abrupt applause woke everyone up.
On the subjective stage, Li Longji frowned slightly, isn't it these mysterious miracles that he can't ask for!
Someone was actually making trouble, and the emperor was very unhappy.
"Who is that?" Li Longji had long forgotten about Xu Chen, a fifth-grade official.
Gao Lishi, who was standing beside him, couldn't forget that a large number of land deeds in Lingnan had been obtained, how could he forget Xu Chen, a high-roller?
"It's the little girl of the Guo family, maybe the little guy invited has never seen the market!"
When I heard that it was the daughter of "my own brother", Guo Keying also knew her, and she specially issued an order to reprimand him for some trivial things, but it seemed that he, the emperor, had no energy.
The internal guard is a knife in his hand, a knife that is so sharp and untouchable, and the ordinary officials are all Jun En, but they have to be more patient with the internal guards, and getting angry for a little thing is not only not worth it, but it may also bring unexpected risks.
Could it be that because of this trivial matter, the Guo family has been completely cleared? What does this make the rest of the Hua Mansion think? Since it cannot be completely cleared, it is inevitable that people will be frightened and have strange thoughts when they are specifically asked for a trivial matter.
Li Longji is very immersed in the way of power and scheming, and he will not make decisions without brains.
"Go back and say, girls can't make friends indiscriminately!"
In this way, it not only expressed dissatisfaction, but also made the Guo family feel that the emperor really regarded Guo Keying as his junior, and his means were so superb.
"Yes!" said Colliers, smiling knowingly.
On the side of Chang Companion, when did Li Longji's mind exceed Gao Lishi's expectations?
Li Longji's little emotion soon disappeared.
It turned out that after seeing Xu Chen's applause, the teenagers in the people's viewing area also applauded one after another.
Then, the people in the vicinity began to clap their hands vigorously to express their excitement as if they were infected with the plague.
What a miracle!
The great monk on the altar was so frightened by the firecracker-like applause that he almost missed, and his whole body shook.
In a hurry, he had to interrupt the chanting and quickly end it.
I saw that with a wave of his big sleeves, Sanskrit, sandalwood, and lotus platforms disappeared one after another, only the great monk got up slowly, bowed to Li Longji and got off the altar.
After watching an ancient vocal special effects, the next contestant from Nestorianism performed a "Gospel of the Lord", in which the Lord tied to the cross looked at the living beings with a compassionate gaze, and the music of the choir was like a heavenly sound......
It's hard to sing the chorus effect by one person!
"Awesome! It's awesome!" Xu Chen was stunned, if he wasn't sure that he couldn't use his aura in Chang'an City, he really would have thought that these guys were all cultivators.
Sure enough, we can't underestimate the ancients! Under such technical conditions, they can perform such exquisite magic performances, which simply makes those so-called magic masters in later generations ashamed!
What kind of wine glass over the wine bottle, change hands to play the piano, it's just weak, okay?
Xu Chen had to wonder if those real magic tricks were too easy for people to believe and would have an impact on values, so the government banned them.
Otherwise, there is really no way to explain how these ancient people, who did not have any modern machinery and no superb chemical technology, deceived his eyes as a modern man.
Next, there were senior monks from India who came to "Rope Ladder to Heaven" and masters from Zoroastrianism who came to "Heavenly Fire Coming to the World......
"It's worth it! It's worth it today!" Xu Chen praised: "Even if you don't see the show, it's worth the ticket price!"
"Ticket price?" Tang Xueying, who was sitting beside him, wondered.
"Oh, I forgot!" Xu Chen smirked: "I didn't buy a ticket!"
What a cold joke.
The profound fighting methods have opened the eyes of the people of Chang'an!
The values that were not advanced have completely fallen now......
I promise that when I go back, these non-believers will definitely choose the most wonderful sect to join.
The various sects that came to Chang'an from thousands of miles finally came in vain.
The empty master of Xingshan Temple regretted that he had come today.
The second did not come to power, so he had to wait until the penultimate one came to power, leaving the last host.
However, the profound Dharma master of Emptiness really couldn't play this set, so he had to tell a scripture honestly.
If you put aside the past, such a subtle scripture can definitely make those people who believe in Buddhism fascinated, but now, it is a bit of a city people looking at the soil buns.
The last person to come to the stage was not the Xuandu Guanguan Lord Yuanxu Zhenren, but an acquaintance of Xu Chen......
