Thinking of this, Shang Yang moved his eyes to the left front of the ship he was on, where there was a large ship much larger than the ship Shang Yang was on, which was the core of the Dongdu fleet, the Dharma propagation ship personally selected by the sage of the Tang Kingdom of Gao Tianyuan for the Jianzhen monk - Dharma, taking the meaning of the Dharma patriarch who traveled east to preach Middle Earth.

Monk Jianzhen and his disciples were on that boat, and now, Jianzhen should be chanting with his disciples in the cabin.

Looking at the brightly lit ship, Shang Yang couldn't help but think of the scene when he met the monk Jianzhen in Yangzhou half a year ago, who had failed to cross to the east five times.

Half a year ago. Yangzhou Daming Temple

Glancing at the magnificent temple in front of him, Shang Yang stepped into the temple, there is no way to go, today is the day when the leader of the Jiangnan monks, Jianzhen monk, opened the altar and said the truth, Shang Yang also couldn't stand at the door, the people nearby were squeezing inside, and Shang Yang could only enter the temple with the flow of people.

However, although many people came, as soon as they entered the temple, they spontaneously closed their mouths and walked as quietly as possible to the position of the Dharma platform.

The Dharma platform is located in the empty square in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Daming Temple, the stone bricks are spread on the ground, forming a gray-white ground, and the cylindrical Dharma platform with a radius of about one zhang is erected in front of the main entrance of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Shang Yang also found a random place to sit cross-legged and waited for Jianzhen to appear.

Soon after, as a bell rang in the temple, people were refreshed and looked at the altar.

Shang Yang also set his eyes on the Dharma platform, and saw the sixty-six-year-old blind monk Jianzhen wearing a red robe, under the guidance of his disciples, went to the Dharma platform, sat down cross-legged, and folded his hands.

"Nan no Amitabha~"

The long and energetic Buddha name reverberates in the temple, and when people hear it, they also fold their hands and chant the name of the Buddha.

Shang Yang was also like everyone else, and then he carefully looked at the authenticity on the Dharma platform.

Although the monk Jianzhen is more old, there is no trace of the gloomy atmosphere of the failure of the five eastward crossings on his face, but he is more and more kind, so that Shang Yang has an illusion, as if he is looking at the statue in the temple.

"The Dharma of the Jianzhen monk is getting deeper and deeper." Touching his chin, Shang Yang exclaimed, "Is it the five crossings to the east in the past twelve years that have made him feel something?" ”

"When the Dharma is clear, it is clear that he will make a grand wish, willing to relieve the suffering of sentient beings, and turn into Guanyin Bodhisattva......"

"Avalokiteshvara, immeasurably eon, has achieved the method of great compassion and compassion, benefiting all sentient beings, in the sea of life and death, in order to be a raft, in the long night of ignorance, in order to be a beacon. Constant contemplation of the sound of the holy name, no suffering, no joy. ”

"Therefore, it is said that there is no great compassion in the south, and Guanyin ......"

Monk Jianzhen was full of energy, his words were gentle, and he began to explain the Fa to everyone carefully, and everyone listened to the peace in their hearts, and they were all in a peaceful state.

"Talking about Guanyin Bodhisattva, the monk Jianzhen is saying, does he have to preach the Dharma?"

Shang Yang thought carefully in his heart, and after Jianzhen finished teaching the Fa and everyone withdrew from the temple in turn, Shang Yang stood up and stepped forward a few steps, and said to one of Jianzhen's disciples with his hands folded.

"I also asked the master to inform Yu, and Yu wanted to discuss the matter of Dongdu with Master Jianzhen."

Daming Temple. Zen room

"In the twelve years of the master, he crossed to the east five times, all of which ended in failure," Shang Yang put down the teacup in his hand and smiled at the old monk in front of him, "The master still doesn't change his heart to go east?" ”

Hearing this, Jianzhen smiled faintly and clasped his hands together, "Don't change." ”

"The poor monk still remembers, when the poor monk was fourteen years old, he and his father stepped into the Dayun Temple to worship the Buddha, the Buddha's compassion law made the poor monk rise to the curiosity of the Dharma, since then, the practice of Buddhism for more than 50 years, has not changed, now the East Ying land Buddhism is insufficient, the poor monk should go to that side, so that the sentient beings in that place can hear the Dharma."

"In this case, the poor monk should go."

When Shang Yang heard this, he looked at the blind old monk with a compassionate face for a long time before he folded his hands and said calmly.

"May the Buddha bless the master with a safe and auspicious journey."

When he came back to his senses, in Shang Yang's eyes, the big ship was still brightly lit.

District 11. Fukuoka

Shang Yang and Ai and Kasaya got off the ship and were about to return to Mt. Yoshino.

Suddenly, a monk came up to the three of them and folded his hands.

"Shangyang donor, my teacher is really invited."

Inside the cabin

The monk led the three Shang Yang into the cabin, and the old monk with a compassionate and peaceful face was sitting on the Hu bed, holding a prayer bead, chanting in a low voice.

"Master, the merchant sheep donor is waiting for the guests to come." The monk folded his hands and said to Jianzhen.

Jianzhen stopped chanting, nodded, and after the monk bowed to Jianzhen, he withdrew on his own.

"Donor, thank you for helping the poor monk to cross the east successfully."

After the monk withdrew, Monk Jianzhen thanked Shang Yang in a peaceful tone.

"Don't dare to be, this is the sincerity of the master, the gold and stone are open, and the eastward crossing is successful."

Shang Yang stepped forward and sat cross-legged on the futon not far in front of Jianzhen and said with a smile.

"The donor said with a smile," Jianzhen said with a faint smile, he now seems to have some experience of the Buddha's Dharma that smiled back then.

"The poor monk has nothing to repay, the poor monk saw that one of the two female donors next to the donor has a bit of a gloomy atmosphere, although I don't know why the donor is a cultivator, why not remove it for the female donor, but the poor monk can only be given the rosary held by Master Xuanzang when he went west in the past."

As he spoke, Jianzhen, who was blind, actually took off the rosary in his hand and handed it to the direction of love.

Ai looked at the old monk, his blood-red eyes flashed, and he gently stepped forward to take it.

"Thank you, Master." Seeing Ai take the rosary, Shang Yang smiled, looked at Jianzhen and said.

"It's a small thing." Jianzhen shook his head, "The donor has helped the poor monks a lot, so why bother to thank him." ”

"This Yingzhou place is not as good as Middle-earth, the master still has to take care."

"Thank you for the reminder." Jianzhen clasped his hands together, "Half a year ago, the donor wished the poor monk a safe and auspicious journey. ”

"Now, the poor monk also wishes the donor's family a safe and auspicious life."

Mt. Yoshino. Hot spring village

Back at their home, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and they still felt the most real in the family.

"That's right, Shang Yang," Kaguya suddenly turned to look at Shang Yang and said with a grin, "That old monk can actually see that you are not a simple businessman." ”

"What's so strange," Shang Yang took it for granted, "Monk Jianzhen has the top cultivation among human beings, although the cultivation of human and non-human things is different, but he can also detect the obscure aura on my body. ”

"He saw the realm in me." Love said softly.

Shang Yang looked at the rosary on Ai's left wrist, and then looked at the two rattles that Ai tied to his right wrist, and with a flash of inspiration, he reached out and held Ai's hands, let her sit next to him, and began to help her untie the rattle on her right wrist, and then took off the rosary on Ai's left wrist.

"Shang Yang, what's wrong?" Love leaned over curiously and asked.

Suddenly Shang Yang held her hands in front of Kaguya, Ai was a little uncomfortable, but she was even more curious about what Shang Yang was going to do.

Shang Yang didn't answer her, but he held a rosary in one hand and a rattle in the other, and Kaguya also came over curiously.

The power of the two instruments rotated, and the originally separate prayer beads and rattles were merged into a whole, and the two instruments that were "merged" and "separated" were merged.

Picking up the new rosary tied to the rattle, Shang Yang held Ai's little white hand, put it on Ai's right wrist, and smiled at Ai.

"Isn't that much pretty?"

Ai raised her right wrist, looked carefully at the rosary tied to the rattle on her right wrist, and nodded knowingly.

"Shang Yang is quite careful," Kaguya covered his mouth and smiled, "By the way, I went to the ghost capital tonight, and the concubine missed that barbecue stall a little." ”

The ghost capital is the ruins of the original Fujiwara Kyo, because the ghost clan from hell first occupied it, although a lot of monsters were moved later, but it is still named after the ghost capital, this inhuman city has become a gathering place and trading ground for inhuman things nearby in recent years, and its order is still maintained by the big ghosts of the original ghost clan, Shang Yang has seen them, and the strength of the big ghosts can be compared with the more powerful monsters in the monster level, but there is still some gap from the apex of the monsters where Shang Yang is.

Night. Ghost capital

Shang Yang and Ai and Kaguya rode the flying carriage from Mt. Yoshino all the way to the ruins of the original Fujiwara-kyo Ruins in the current ghost, this flying carriage is the prop of the original director Taketori Guiyue, after using it up, Shang Yang did not idle it, and used it as a means of transportation for the general three-person travel, the disadvantage is that driving it consumes a bit of demon power, and it is better to fly over long distances. Therefore, it is only used in the vicinity and is not commonly used.

Approaching the original South City Gate, the Ghost Capital is now a place where the human realm and the hell realm are confused, and it can only be entered through the Rasho Gate of the South City Gate.

Guarding the city gate are a few ghost clans, seeing this low-flying carriage, and seeing the person in the gray-white blue lotus coat sitting in the original carriage driving position, he opened the city gate, these years Shang Yang's popularity in the ghost capital is also good, speaking of the establishment of the ghost capital and Shang Yang's contribution to the Fujiwara-kyo fire, it was Fujiwara-kyo suffered a fire, which made the underground gloomy and corrupt atmosphere float up, forming this monster city. The big ghosts who manage the ghost capital have generally eaten banquets with Shang Yang, and they also have some friendships.

Entering the ghost capital, the breath of the outside world that belongs to the world seems to have disappeared, and the gloomy and corrupt underground atmosphere rises in the ruins of this city, but the city is still quite lively, the lights are bright, and all kinds of inhuman aliens pull their stalls to sell along the street, Shang Yang knows that there are man-eating monsters in some remote places selling human flesh and blood, which is also a helpless thing. For trolls, cannibalism is a necessity for their survival.

As for why Shang Yang knew, it was purely because a man-eating monster invited him to participate in the banquet, Shang Yang felt that the pressure was huge, let's cut people okay, but cannibalism This cliff is not good, so he refuses because he is not a man-eating monster, and those man-eating monsters still feel a pity.

However, most of the vendors are still very normal, such as this barbecue stall that Kaguya and Ai both love.

Stopping the carriage in front of the stall, the merchant sheep jumped out of the carriage and approached to greet the stall owner casually.

"Yo, cow ghost, I haven't seen you for a few months, how is the business?"

The stall owner of this barbecue stall is a cow ghost monster, also turned into a human form, is rolling the barbecue in his hand, saw Shang Yang, hurriedly walked out from behind the stall, and greeted Shang Yang warmly.

"Lord Shangyang, I haven't seen you for a few months, please sit down, Miss Kaguya and Miss Ai have also arrived, please take a seat, and I will serve meat for you here."

Kaguya and Ai also pull back the curtain, jump out of the car, and come over and sit down.

After a while, the fragrant barbecue was brought to the three of them by the cow ghost, and Shang Yang picked up a string of meat casually, and chatted with the cow ghost casually while eating.

"Cow ghost, how has business been these past few months?"

"Thanks to Lord Shangyang, the business has been very good in the past few months, and the big ghosts and adults who manage the city have all come."

Speaking of business, this cow ghost monster is very happy, it seems that as he said, he has made a lot of money recently.

Among the youkai is the currency of the universal humans.,In fact, for most of the monsters,Coins are not very useful.,The monsters pay attention to freedom.,Basically, they don't have a fixed place.。

"That's right." Shang Yang nodded thoughtfully and continued to eat the barbecue.

"I wish you a good business."
