Chapter 109: Entering the Zen Temple, Li Qin deceived the sky
"Dang!"
The melodious sound of the bell spreads from the temple on the top of the mountain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
fell into the ears of the three people standing on the back mountain, causing the three of them to sigh in unison.
Li Qin didn't know what Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, who were called by him to commit the crime with him, felt about it, anyway, when he saw such a wide Zen courtyard jungle, he secretly marveled at the wealth of the Jingnian Zen Courtyard in his heart: "Good guy, such a Zen courtyard can almost catch up with the palace!" ā
You must know that now is not the future generations, the royal buildings of the Sui and Tang dynasties were originally taught by the Han and Wei dynasties, and they have a simple atmosphere. According to later generations, the area of the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty was more than four times that of the Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Forbidden City is already a large building group, and the Daming Palace is several times that of him, which shows the size of the Daming Palace.
And the Jingnian Zen Monastery that appeared in front of Li Qin was no longer under the Daming Palace, and it could really be regarded as a small city.
It's just that the temple is hidden in the forest, at first when looking at the front of the hillside, Li Qin thought that there were only a few temples, but now when he came to the front, he knew that the buildings in the temple added up to nearly 1,000 rooms, the scale was grand, and there were mountains, rivers and lakes hidden in it, which was amazing.
"In the past, I heard people say that in the big Zen temple, the monk needs to ride a horse to light incense before it can be completed within the specified hour. I originally thought it was just a vain, but I didn't want to ......" Li Qin sighed lightly: "People say that the temple is rich, and it seems that what is said is true. ā
"So, does Master want to do something to Buddhism?" Squatting beside Li Qin, Xu Ziling seemed a little abrupt.
"Disciples of Buddhism do not produce and have no children...... Steeply occupy the fertile land and mansions, but there is no tax to the state. When they encounter troubled times, they come out to stir up the wind and rain, and when they talk about what they want them to do, they say that they are outsiders. They want all the face, but they are not greedy enough. ā
Li Qin said coldly, "Ziling, Xiao Zhong, you can be regarded as having come into contact with a little bit of the world. What is the most important thing for you to compete for domination of the world? ā
"It should be the money and food population! Of course, weapons and supplies are also very important. But as long as you have money, food, weapons, and so on, you can always produce it. Kou Zhong replied first.
In the past, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddhism, adding millions of people to the world, and getting countless money and food, so the Northern Zhou Dynasty dominated the north of the Yangtze River, laying the foundation for the later Great Sui to dominate the world. That was decades ago...... The current monk only remembers the tragic situation of Emperor Wu destroying the Buddha, but he doesn't know why he destroyed the Buddha. It's better to cry all the way than to cry all the way. Li Qin calmly stated the facts.
This fact made Xu Ziling, who was still a little reluctant, suddenly strengthened his determination.
"Is this the sin of Buddhism? There is something hateful about the wretched! Xu Ziling nodded lightly, and the reluctance in his heart was also abandoned.
The three of them looked at the treetops, and their eyes soon fell on the central axis of the Jingnian Monastery, only to see that there were seven halls in the middle of the Monastery, which were the Manjushri Hall, the Mahavira Hall, the Immeasurable Hall and so on, and behind the seven halls, there was another small hall that was shining in the light of the lights, much smaller than the other halls, the small hall was very strange, but it seemed to have more status than other halls that were ten times larger.
"It looks like He's Bi was put there." Li Qin gestured with his hand to the small hall in the distance and said to Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong.
"The little hall? Why? Xu Ziling and Kou Zhongju were puzzled.
"Have you ever felt the mysterious and tranquil aura that comes from He's Bi now?" Li Qin asked Xu Ziling directly. In fact, he could feel that kind of breath himself, and even felt more than Xu Ziling, but now it was Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong who asked, so he asked Xu Ziling rhetorically.
"I don't feel that way at all now." Xu Ziling shook his head, with some doubts in his eyes.
"The strange power of Heshibi is everywhere, and the feeling of fate is even deeper. You can't sense him right now, naturally because he's being hidden.
And the only one in the entire Pure Mind Monastery that can do this is the bronze hall. It was a palace made of pure bronze, the only one in the world, and it was really extravagant. Copper can isolate the strange force of the family. ā
Li Qin whispered, shaking his head gently.
"He's fucking rich!" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were stunned, and for the first time felt that this Pure Nian Zen Monastery that they had never heard of before was not simple.
Such a copper hall with a width and depth of three zhang and a half zhang not only requires a lot of gold and copper, but also has a real master craftsman.
With the wealth of Yangzhou, it seems that there is no such a bronze temple.
"Shall we do it now?" As he spoke, Kou Zhong wanted to stand up and take action.
"Wait!" Xu Ziling grabbed him.
"How?" Kou Zhong was puzzled.
Xu Ziling explained unhappily: "Be careful, okay? The monks haven't done their evening classes yet, at least they should wait until they're asleep! ā
"Oh!" Kou Zhong was a little embarrassed, he touched his nose and stopped talking.
"There's nothing wrong with being careful! We are not yet at the point where we can ignore all enemies. Li Qin admonished them softly. Immediately, he glanced at Xu Ziling approvingly.
Li Qinyao then pointed to the large bell tower that protrudes from the tiled roofs of the temples covered by multicolored glaze, and occupies between the two pagodas. He said: "Since the bell rings for the night, there should be no one upstairs, if we sneak there first and carefully see the situation in the whole courtyard, it will be more convenient to sneak up in case the treasure is stolen." ā
"Great goodness!" Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong stroked his palms and praised.
The three of them leaped over, blinking their eyes over the high wall and heading in the direction of the bell tower.
The sound of chanting in Sanskrit melodiously seems to come from an unknown distance and spread throughout the temple.
As if they were in a no-man's land, the three of them climbed to the tall building where a huge bell weighing 1,000 catties was placed, overlooking the situation near and far.
The main buildings in the temple are arranged on the central axis facing the temple gate, with the copper hall as the center of the temple, and the scale is complete and uniform.
Except for the bronze hall, all the buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, and the color is as good as new, but I don't know whether it is because the monks in the temple are diligent in cleaning, or the tiles are so. In particular, the peacock blue in the three colors is the most dazzling. You can imagine the sparkling scene in the sunlight.
The bell tower where they stood was located between the bronze hall and the other main hall, but the distance between them varied greatly, the former being far away and the latter near. There is a vast platform square that reaches 100 zhang in front of the copper hall, is built with white stone, and encloses the white stone carved railing.
In the middle of the white stone square, a bronze statue of Manjushri is enshrined, riding on the back of a golden lion, up to two zhang high, and there are three Buddhas such as Medicine Master, Shakya and Mida next to the shrine. Painted gold ornaments are quite bold, but they also make people feel a little out of line with ordinary temple practices.
At the edge of the white stone platform, in addition to the four stone steps at the entrance, there are 500 arhats evenly distributed, all of them are cast in gold and bronze, all with different expressions and postures, but no matter whether they open their eyes and protrude their foreheads, or hang their eyes and guard inside, they are all lifelike, no different from living people.
The other buildings are arranged in an orderly manner in all directions with the main hall on the axis as a whole, separated by forest roads, and have a solemn and sacred atmosphere.
A large incense burner was placed in front of the Manjushri Buddha Shrine in Baishi Square, and the burning sandalwood was sending a large amount of aroma, permeating the entire space, so that the minds of the three of them could not help but calm down and infect the atmosphere of birth.
Now that the monks' evening service was still going on, the three of them had to hide in the bell tower and wait with bated breath until another two hours later.
"Ding! Bite! Bite! ā
But I heard three crisp chimes melodiously coming from the main hall where the evening class was done, and the chanting in the hall suddenly stopped.
In an instant, the entire Zen monastery was silent, only the sound of insects chirping, gradually filling the space of the mountain and the temple.
The three of them looked down from the top of the bell tower, only to see one after another monks, Yuguan walked out of the main hall behind the bronze hall with their palms together.
Kou Zhong chuckled softly: "After reciting the scriptures for so long, now I must go to bed after going to the convenience of the group." Ha! If more than 200 monks go to squeeze the latrine, some people will wait until they can't bear it, ha! ā
Li Qin and Xu Ziling laughed at his funny words.
Li Qin shook his head and looked at it intently.
I saw that the monk who was like a long snake formation, after leaving the main hall, not only did not disperse, but walked straight towards the white stone square under the leadership of a blue-robed monk with a terrifying body shape who was different from other monks in gray robes.
Except for the blue-robed monk holding a Zen staff weighing more than 100 catties, everyone else has Buddha beads in their hands, their eyes and nose and heart, and the treasure is solemn, but they are not afraid of falling because the field of vision is narrow.
Two hundred and thirty-two monks, old and young, are neatly arranged in more than ten rows in the open space between Manjushri and the bell tower, facing the Bodhisattva shrine.
In addition to the tall and burly monk in the leader's navy blue robe, there were also three monks like him wearing blue monk's robes, with different shapes and four corners with him. It is easy to guess that they are the four protectors of the Pure Mind Monastery.
Two heavy bronze doors that were one foot high opened automatically without wind, revealing the dark space inside.
Unless the inside of the bronze door was made of wood or hollow, all three of them wondered if they didn't have the skills to push it open so easily.
Of course, this is only in terms of internal breathing power, if you count the power of your own qi and blood, then it is a different matter.
The person pushing the door was evident in his internal strength to push the door open at once.
In terms of this skill alone, it has reached the point of shocking the world.
Li Qin intuitively thought that the people in this bronze hall had reached the level of the Grandmaster's Rear Rank, and even the Grandmaster's peak, they were not the Great Grandmaster, but they were not too far from the Great Grandmaster.
With his breath straight through his eyes, Li Qin and the others clearly saw a tall and handsome monk, leisurely stepping out of the bronze hall and standing on the top of the white stone steps of the hall.
The monks, under the leadership of the four great vajras, saluted.
His figure is slender and chic, and he has a leisurely appearance, which makes people feel comfortable and natural at first glance.
This person is empty, he is wearing a bright yellow silk robe, a brown coat of monk's robes, showing his detachment like a crowd.
Suddenly, he raised his head upward, a pair of deep and unfathomable eyes slowly raised, and two divine lights came out, as if he had crossed the many temples, and glanced at the mountain where several people were quite meaningful!
Li Qin and the others hurriedly withdrew their hands and hid their figures outside the guard plate of the bell tower, as if the barrier of the guard plate was used to cover the sharp light of the Sword Gang.
After sitting down, Kou Zhong gasped and exclaimed, "My mother! Won't it be so far away for him to find out? In his heart, he was secretly glad that Fang had not rushed in.
"It's just a matter of being moved! An intuition that belongs to the mind, as long as we don't mess with ourselves, then it's nothing. Li Qin whispered to Kou Zhong.
"Then ...... now," Kou Zhong asked, his eyes wide.
"Wait, wait for this guy to leave......" Li Qin whispered to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and then he took out a bag of things and a few human skin noodles from his arms and handed them to Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong.
"This time we must not let them know who we are. Therefore, you should try not to use the martial arts and true qi that you have already exposed. Ziling can use the true qi of the wood attribute, and Xiao Zhong can convert the true qi of the ice attribute. When I get my hands on it, you will come out to meet me, and it is best to give these explosives packets to the Jingnian Monastery a ruthless ...... Let them have no time for other care. Li Qin whispered.
"Can you try not to kill people? We rob other people's things, and then kill people......" Xu Ziling was a little unbearable.
"Try your best! But if they seek their own death, then don't blame me for being unkind. Li Qin smiled faintly.
"Master, are you going to go alone?" Kou Zhong was a little worried: "Wouldn't this be too dangerous?" ā
"Don't worry! As long as I get the Harmony as fast as I can, then we will win the battle tonight. Li Qin said confidently.
"He Shibi has a strange power, as long as he is taken out of the copper hall, then his strange power is enough for these monks to eat a pot." Xu Ziling also defended Li Qin in a timely manner.
"Then ......," said Li Qin, standing up from the bell tower, "let's do it." ā
As soon as his voice fell, his whole body was full of true qi, his whole body was boiling, and the bones in his body made a crackling sound.
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong looked at it intently, but saw that Li Qin's figure had suddenly risen a lot, and his figure had become wider. Now he is like a big fat man, but in terms of size, no one connects him with his original self.
"Oh my God! This is completely different from the original, if you wear a human skin mask again, I'm afraid that there are not many people in the world who can recognize you. The two were amazed.
"It's just a little bit of a trail, I'll tell you the trick so you can do it." Li Qin said that he saw the exercises of the key to the body of Yi and transmitted the sound to Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong.
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong's eyes lit up when they heard this, they thought about it seriously, and quickly grasped the main points. They also had luck and changed their skeletal shape: Xu Ziling became a small Zhengtai who was less than six feet tall; And Kou Zhongzhi turned into a majestic man who reached a height of eight feet.
Li Qin immediately took out a few sets of clothes from his personal space and changed them with the two of them, and then put on the corresponding human skin masks, flew over, jumped down from the bell tower and rushed straight to the front of His Majesty in the bronze hall.
"Amitabha!"
The heavy sound of the Buddha's trumpet was heard everywhere.
The sound of clothes fluttering came from all directions at the same time.
"When! While! While! ā
The Zen bell rings continuously.
This was almost all expected, the front of the bronze hall was always watched by monks, and if Li Qin was unwilling to kill, it was impossible for him to go undetected.
Li Qin didn't care about it at the moment, reached out and grabbed the two big copper rings, and pulled his luck violently.
"Buzz!" The heavy doors of the temple opened with a muffled sound.
