Chapter 81: A Miracle
Xue Xiang said: "The two of you sing and harmonize, thinking that I am going to stir things up again?" I'm not so idle, what kind of incense teaching, qigong, I don't bother to care, but they made this Cuiping Mountain a practice dojo, that's very inappropriate, at that time, I will open a travel company here, or run a qigong sparring class, so I have to go to the host of the incense sect to ask. If you two are not used to living in the mountains, go down first, and come back to me early tomorrow morning. ”
Seeing the worries of the two, Xue Laosan would not understand.
Seeing Xue Xiang say, these two knew that it was difficult to dissuade them, how could they be willing to go down the mountain, so they had to go together, and it was good to go together.
The ink clouds are getting lower, the twilight is beginning to rise, and the mountain wind is getting colder, but it is not stinging, and it is very comfortable to blow on the body.
The stairs in front of him continued, and Xue Laosan didn't need these two people to lead the way, and he walked up the stairs behind several believers in apricot yellow suits.
After walking for less than half an hour, the line of sight suddenly widened, but it was to the highest platform.
But see a hundred and ten meters in the west, there is an ancient temple, although the door curtain has seen the appearance of renovation, but the grand vicissitudes of ancient meaning, but how can not be hidden, especially a pair of couplets made of yellow rosewood in front of the temple gate, the left book: the fan is not aware, the feeling is not confused, so as to shine the original face from the large round mirror; Write on the right: Color is emptiness, emptiness is color, but it is true as the world proves the supreme Bodhi; Although the calligraphy is simple, it is immersed in the texture of pear wood, revealing a sense of innocence.
Xue Xiang looked at it from the information, this Jingyun Temple is not uncommon anywhere else, only this couplet, has a great background, in the Republic of China, there was a big turmoil.
It turns out that this joint biography was written by the four ancestors of Zen Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, and in the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, when the Zen Dharma Promotion Conference, the four branches of Zen Buddhism also set off a monstrous dispute over the ownership of this couplet. I heard that it was robbed by the dog meat general Zhang Changzong in the end, and I don't know what twists and turns have gone through it, and now it is hanging in this Jingyun Temple. It's been almost half a century.
Xue Laosan stared at this Buddhist verse for a long time. As if in a state of flux, he suddenly heard a gong sound, and his attention was turned.
But in the center of the square in front of the ancient temple, there is a high platform, which is three zhang wide and three zhang wide, and four square. About more than a meter high, there are more than a dozen men in red shirts and sleeveless short clothes standing on the high platform, among which the person is the most eye-catching, tall and strong figure. Bareheaded, dressed in gold, he looked like a golden man from a distance, and he sat cross-legged in the center of the high platform. With his hands folded and his eyes closed, he looks like a monk who is participating in meditation in the temple.
And the strangest thing is that on the side of this gold-robed man, there is a half-cut white marble bodhisattva standing side by side. The lower half of this bodhisattva's body is planted in a huge low vat, which is extremely strange.
As soon as the gong sounded, the six or seven hundred practitioners scattered around the platform in the square all went towards the high platform.
And these six or seven hundred people, not all dressed up in apricot yellow clothes, but divided into three colors, in addition to apricot yellow clothes, there are also white clothes, and miscellaneous clothes, at this time, everyone gathered around the stage, but also quite orderly, apricot yellow clothes are the innermost, white clothes are slightly outside, miscellaneous clothes are the outermost, quite a bit of hierarchical meaning.
There were no electric lights in the field, only in the four corners, seven or eight bonfires were placed, and the raging flames burned fiercely, reflecting in the field, as if it were day.
However, he said that after these six or seven hundred cultivators surrounded the high platform, the man holding the gong pulled his throat and recited a specious scripture, and the audience was silent, and they all listened solemnly, even Jiang Fangping and Dai Yubin also showed solemn expressions, and Xue Laosan's brows tightened even more.
It turned out that Xue Laosan's ear power was amazing, and although he was separated by hundreds of meters, he still heard the scriptures clearly, especially in the four sentences and four sentences, the "vacuum hometown" and "childless old mother" that appeared were simply piercing the ears.
Suddenly, in Xue Laosan's mind, a word "White Lotus Sect" came to mind.
No wonder how he looked at these people on the stage, how awkward, in later generations, there were qigong practice classes all over Shenzhou, and they were just practicing in public places early in the morning, making some stakes, swords, etc., how could there be such a big night, hiding in the deep mountains and old forests to gather.
But he said that after the word "White Lotus Sect" appeared in Xue Laosan's mind, he was relieved.
Originally, he planned to rectify the qigong cultivation in the Dejiang area, but there was still a reason to go, after all, this thing, the central government couldn't help it, he wanted to ban it, I am afraid that it would be extremely difficult, and now that he has figured out what this incense sect is, what it is, then the teacher will be famous.
To put it in detail, all denominations that are linked to theology will play two tricks: one is mysterious; Second, the atmosphere; This is the reason why the churches in the West are all magnificent and atmospheric, and the raging bonfires in the field at this moment, the lonely deep mountains, and the ancient temples of the forest are the same.
At this time, even those who have disdain in their hearts will inevitably be confused by this mysterious atmosphere and give birth to awe.
Xue Laosan looked at Jiang Fangping and Dai Yubin's faces were full of iron, and his eyes were terrified, he knew that these two were confused by the landscape in front of them, so he gently stretched out his palms and rubbed them on their backs, and the strength was spitting out, and the heat was instantaneous, and the faces of the two of them immediately improved a lot, and they turned their heads and smiled at Xue Xiang.
Xue Lao Sanfang was about to speak, and there was a sudden change in the field, first the bonfires around him were suddenly extinguished, and a scorching light suddenly lit up on the top of the high platform, which was very dazzling, and in front of the gold-clothed man who was sitting cross-legged, there was an extra brazier, and he heard the bald man shout, "Please Maitreya Patriarch manifests!" ”
The flames in the basin were suddenly violent, and the flames of more than rice rose towards the sky, and the flames fell, and the gold-clothed man suddenly released colorful rays, like divine light.
Such a miracle was unheard of, beyond imagination, and in an instant, everyone was stunned.
The bald man shouted, "Maitreya Buddha is a saint, how dare you be rude!" ”
As soon as he spoke, six or seven hundred people in the audience bowed down, prostrating to each other, and their mouths were all praying for good fortune, and their faces were full of piety.
Even Jiang Fangping and Dai Yubin, who had been rescued by Xue Xiang from this strange and mysterious atmosphere, also fell into it again, and as soon as their knees weakened, they knelt down, seeing that their knees were about to hit the ground, but they were stretched out by Xue Laosan and dragged them up again.
"Well, where did you come from to be a stupid man, so bold and reckless, Maitreya Buddha came to the world, and he dared not welcome him, and he would be punished!"
Originally, the three of them stood far away, plus there were six or seven hundred people in the sea of people, as a barrier, plus the lights were shining, it was not very conspicuous, but at this moment, under the high platform, the audience was kneeling, and Xue Xiang was standing alone, but it was extremely conspicuous, and the bald man on the high platform saw the three of them at a glance and scolded loudly.
"Well, where did the god Mao come from, he dared to bewitch the public, did he know that the central government was cracking down, and he was trying to defy the law by engaging in feudal superstitious activities in the name of practice?"
Xue Laosan shouted this time, and the movement was much more than that of the bald man, and there was a thunder in the field, which blew up the demonic atmosphere all over the field, and many people stood up in shock.
With a shout, Xue Lao walked towards the high platform in three steps, and everyone in the field saw that he was menacing, so they couldn't help but split a way and let him step forward.
The bald man was furious, seeing that the carefully created atmosphere was broken by Xue Xiang, he wanted to call someone to do it directly, the red-shirted man on the right side of the gold-robed man, a wrong step, flashed to the side of the bald man, and whispered a few words, the bald man's face changed, and he stared coldly at Xue Laosan, who stepped forward: "It turned out that you were eating official food, but even if you are eating official food, you can't control our association to practice qigong, exercise your physique, and defend your family and country, I advise you where to come from, where to go back, if you want to take someone, please bring the above jiàn, If there is no text, don't sabotage our cultivation of divine skills! ”
Before the bald man spoke, Xue Xiang was taken aback, and he was surprised that the red-shirted man who had bitten his ears with the bald man before, he had seen it, and it was Kong Ba's tall bodyguard who was secretly cleaned up by him in Yingxian Tower that day.
Where did Xue Xiang think that the people around Kong Ba turned out to be the core members of this incense sect.
And after the bald man spoke, Xue Laosan was surprised again, it was obvious that after being told his identity by the red-shirted man, he was not afraid, and he opened his mouth to do business, and his tone was very big.
You must know that in this era, the fear of officials in Shengdou Xiaomin is not just lip service, obviously, this mixed incense sect has consciously become the climate, and he is not afraid of officials at all.
But said that after the bald man spoke, he didn't wait for Xue Laosan to speak, and the audience immediately made a loud noise, scolding and scolding, which was extremely ugly.
Xue Laosan stretched out his hand to press, but it didn't work, he took a deep breath, and said loudly: "I said what you are clamoring for, I don't know if you have been deceived, what qigong, what Maitreya, you really have the ability, let me see and understand, if you can convince me, I will also believe in this incense sect with you, if not, you will disperse today, and you will not assemble again, in addition, I am the leader of the Dejiang Administration, this is my work card!" As he spoke, Xue Xiang showed his work card.
Sure enough, seeing that Xue Xiang had put on the identity of an official, the noise below immediately went out a lot, and only a few diehards remained, clamoring for the senior brother to show his ability, and let the insight of the official see the magic of the incense school.
It is said that the matter has come to this point, and the bald man should take over the scene in order to protect his reputation, but who knows, he actually sternly refused, bluntly saying that today is the day when Maitreya Buddha was born and manifested and welcomed the new believers.
Listening to him speak in a semi-pure and impure Beijing accent, Xue Laosan really couldn't cry or laugh, and the gang of people dressed in miscellaneous clothes immediately made a noise, saying that since it was Maitreya Buddha's manifestation, he should show his supernatural skills, if he showed weakness, wouldn't the incense sect really have a vain name, if this is the case, they will not join the sect anymore, and the practice fee will have to be returned.
It turns out that today's incense cult gathers people, which is to lead the conference, that is, miscellaneous clothes into white clothes, white clothes into apricot yellow clothes, apricot yellow clothes, and select the excellent ones to enter the red clothes, of course, the introduction is fake, and the charges are true.
