Chapter 213: Confession

The temple burns incense all over the sky, and the chanting sound of the monk flows like clear water, which makes people feel at ease.

Everyone was talking about Ye Fan, and a bamboo row appeared in the upper reaches of Huaishui.

It was a bamboo row twenty meters long and more than five meters wide. The bamboo raft ran down the river, on which stood several lamas and a plainly dressed youth.

The young man was Xuyun, and the lamas were followers of Tibetan Tantra.

As soon as everyone saw Xuyun coming, they all bowed their hands, and Xuyun also gave up his hand on the bamboo row, and he followed the customs of the villagers and temporarily became a person in the rivers and lakes.

A few monks came out of the confession temple to greet him and greeted the void clouds ashore.

Xuyun looked around and said apologetically: "I have been practicing in the mountains for the past few days, and I am preparing to open the altar to talk about the Buddha, so I am late. ”

"It's okay, Master Xuyun, please open the altar."

Everyone respected Xuyun very much, and the people from the two worlds of Buddhism and Taoism in the Central Plains also smiled, but their smiles were a little unnatural.

Xuyun arched his hand again, and then looked at several monks in the crowd, and the Hongyi Sage was also among them.

"Three years later, I got to see the monk again, and I was fortunate to meet the clouds." Master Xuyun bowed to the saint Hongyi, and everyone was secretly happy, feeling that Tantra still respected Han Buddhism very much.

However, the next moment, Xuyun asked, "This time Han Buddhism is with me but the Hongyi Sage?" ”

Ye Fan's opening of the altar had already spread all over Jinling, and it was impossible for Xuyun not to know, he deliberately asked at this time, but he was actually burying Hongyi Saint.

Many people's faces were displeased, but the Hongyi Sage smiled and said: "The old man is not good at Buddhism, so he doesn't dare to make a mistake, and this time it is Ye Fan's little benefactor who is working with Master Xuyun." ”

"Oh? Jiangnan Wang Ye Fan? It's interesting. Xuyun laughed and said no more.

He walked to the Temple of Heaven, jumped up, and then sat on it, soaking up the sun, like a Buddha statue.

The Temple of Heaven is made of bamboo, but the top is a lotus platform, which is very exquisite.

The two lotus platforms are exactly the same, both standing in front of the temple, surrounded by incense.

When the time came, the temple bell rang, and in an instant, a large group of people on the water and land rushed in.

These people are all men and women who have come to the festival, and they couldn't come just now, but now they all ran over when they heard the bells.

Suddenly, the temple of worship and confession, which was not empty, was crowded, and this temple of more than 10,000 square meters was full of people, and even there were countless painting boats in the water that could not be docked, and believers could only look at the Temple of Heaven on the boat.

Many believers stared at the void cloud obsessively, eager to pounce on it.

"Xuyun is too handsome, he is a real Buddha!"

"I'm going to be the first to confess!"

"Don't think about it, it's not your turn."

There were people chattering everywhere, and then many people asked, Ye Fan is still here?

Ye Fan also wanted to open the altar, he represented Han Buddhism, but he never showed up.

Soon, the time for the opening of the altar also came, the sun was shining, and many people were sweating profusely and their clothes were soaked.

"Why hasn't Ye Fan come yet? You won't run away, will you? ”

"I feel sorry for my family's Xuyun Mage, sitting so high and being exposed to the sun for a long time."

"Look at the Void Cloud Mage, he didn't sweat, it's amazing!"

Everyone looked at Master Xuyun, who was a lotus platform, bathing in the sun and enjoying himself, without any signs of sweating.

"Worthy of a true Buddha!"

Everyone praised again, worshiped Xuyunding, and then continued to mutter, why didn't Ye Fan come yet?

Seeing that the lamas began to blow the trumpet, the Menglan basin was also brought out, and downstream of the Huai River, a painting boat finally came.

It's a pity that you can't squeeze in, and the waterway has been blocked.

Ye Fan stood on the painting boat, he grabbed the "Great Compassion Mantra", stepped on the painting boat and flew ashore.

Everyone looked at Ye Fan, many people breathed a sigh of relief, and many people pouted, feeling that Ye Fan really didn't look like a Buddha when he jumped over so roughly.

Xuyun smiled at the Temple of Heaven and said, "Master, please go to the Temple of Heaven." ”

Ye Fan jumped onto the Temple of Heaven under the watchful eye and sat on the lotus platform.

At this time, the trumpet sounded, the temple bell rang again, and a huge basin was carried out.

That is the Menglan basin, which contains all kinds of food offered to the Buddha, and the aroma is overflowing.

Ye Fan twisted his neck on the lotus platform and casually put the "Great Compassion Mantra" on his lap.

Master Xuyun looked at him and smiled slightly: "Doesn't the master remember the scriptures?" Why do you want to look at it temporarily? ”

"I don't remember." Ye Fan said casually, the crowd laughed, some were embarrassed and some were disdainful.

Say no more.

In the temple, a group of people walked out.

Their robes are a little different from the robes of Han Buddhism, they look like lamas, and their appearance is not like that of the Han people, they are the young people of Tibet.

But as soon as they appeared, the breath of the Buddha filled the sky, and people couldn't help but worship.

There was a quick silence in front of the temple.

Ye Fan looked at those Buddhas and felt that they were a little evil, not at all like real Buddhas, even more fake than Xuyun.

In the crowd, Jiang Haoran and the others looked at the Buddha and asked Hongyi Sage in a low voice: "Sage, who are they?" ”

"The Seven Venerables of Tantra, this puja is really unusual, all seven Venerables are here. Except for the Void Cloud Venerable, the other six Venerables are all Shura Venerables, and they are Tantric powerhouses. ”

Venerable Shura is practicing Shura Buddhism, in fact, he is a master of fighting, and all of them have quasi-innate cultivation, which is very strong.

After the Venerable Shura appeared, they each sat under the Temple of Heaven to express their protection of the True Buddha.

At this point, the Bon Festival officially began.

After a bell rang, Xuyun took the lead in speaking: "Ladies and gentlemen, please come forward." ”

Suddenly, everyone who had been impatient for a long time crowded over, sitting in front of the Temple of Heaven one after another, putting on a pious appearance.

They basically sat in front of the Temple of Heaven in the Void Clouds, and only a few people sat in front of Ye Fan's Temple of Heaven.

These few people are still reluctant, because there is no place for them.

As for the bigwigs in the Central Plains, they didn't come to worship, they all watched from a distance.

Ye Fan looked down, there were only more than ten believers in his own place, but there were more than 100 people on Xuyun's side.

However, to Ye Fan's surprise, there was a young girl wearing a peaked hat among his believers.

This girl peeked at herself, her eyes were full of encouragement, who was Du Yao?

Ye Fan glared at her, she winked at Ye Fan, and opened her red lips, meaning: You come on, I'll help you eat bananas when you go back.

Ye Fan immediately pinched his legs, clasped his hands together and silently recited the sins and sins of Amitabha Buddha.

When the people were in place, the bell rang again.

Xuyun began to chant.

"The good dharma is illusory, and the creation of bad karma is also illusory; The body is like a gathering foam, the heart is like the wind, and there is no root and no substance. ”

He recites scriptures like an old monk knocking on a wooden fish, and his voice is ethereal and beautiful, which makes people intoxicated. And there was a Buddha light flickering on his body, which sprinkled down like a dream, enveloping everyone.

This is the magic power of Buddhism, his heart is connected, and he crosses his heart with Buddhism!

The more than 100 believers sank in an instant, staring at the void cloud in complete dementia.

Xuyun's eyes were full of compassion, and he looked at everyone gently: "All the bad karma created in the past was caused by greed and hatred without beginning; Born from body, speech, and mind, I repent of everything now. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the monks under the Temple of Heaven also began to chant sutras and knock on wooden fish.

The confession temple suddenly became like a small west sky, and everyone quieted down, listening to the confessional scriptures of the void clouds.

In just half a minute, many people began to cry and began to tell their sins, what they stole money, what dogs, what they were, all of them repented.

The crowd in the distance was stunned and amazed.

"Is this the tantric mind? How does the Void Cloud Mage do it? Why is he able to make people repent? ”

After repentance, the sins of the past are in smoke, and there is no longer any need to be tortured. Whoever has a sin in his heart should repent quickly, this kind of opportunity is rare. ”

Amid the exclamations, some big names also went to repent, hoping to wash away their sins.

When someone leaves after repentance, they are already refreshed, as if they have changed into a different person.

There are constantly people joining in the confession and listening to the chanting of the void clouds.

On the other hand, Ye Fan, he looked down at the "Great Compassion Mantra", reciting it word by word, although it was also getting better, but his believers were completely indifferent, looking at each other one by one, even Du Yao was confused.

The crowd watching the play snickered, Ye Fan was indeed embarrassed, he couldn't make his followers repent at all.

Soon, his only dozen believers were gone, and even Du Yao was pulled away by Du Lan.

When Ye Fan opened his eyes, his Temple of Heaven was empty, but it was overcrowded next to him.

Xuyun continued to chant the sutra, and finally, when he finished chanting, all those who repented were liberated.

Someone cried, "I killed my girlfriend and had nightmares all day, and now I'm finally reborn." ”

"When I was a child, I scalded a cat with boiling water, and I couldn't let go of it, and now I feel like the cat has forgiven me."

Worship the temple of confession, crying.

Master Xuyun sighed lightly, looked at the crowd in the distance, and said softly: "Donor in a white coat, you have sinned the most here, why don't you come to repent?" ”

Xuyun's eyes looked at a man hiding in the crowd, the man's expression was tangled, he wanted to repent but didn't dare.

At this moment, he was so frightened that his face turned white when he was looked at by Xuyun. Everyone looked over and was stunned.

"It's Jinling real estate businessman Liu Ming and Liu Gongzi, he has always been kind and charitable, what is the sin?"

"Master Xuyun is so powerful, this is his heart, he has seen through Liu Ming's sins!"

Everyone was stunned, Liu Ming suddenly knelt down, kowtowed and crawled towards the void cloud.

"Master Void Cloud, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Five years ago, in order to protect my mother, I killed my father with my own hands. ”

"My father has always abused my mother, and I have endured it since I was a child, and I can't bear it anymore. I have been atoning for my sins and donating money for disaster relief, but I still have nightmares every night, asking the Buddha to save me. ”

Liu Ming cried a handful of snot and tears: "I can't stand it, my father turned into a demon and has been pestering me, he is still watching me in the river, just in the river over there......"

Everyone looked at Huaishui, there was only a painting boat, where there were any evil ghosts.

Someone exclaimed: "It turns out that Boss Liu was killed by Liu Ming, no wonder he suddenly disappeared five years ago, and he was killed by his son!" ”

"Liu Gongzi is starting to go insane, tsk, his father is not a good thing, he is innocent of death, poor Liu Gongzi."

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, and Xuyun smiled at Liu Ming: "Please sit down, the Buddha will liberate you." ”

Liu Ming was grateful, sat in front of the Temple of Heaven, and looked up at the void clouds reverently.

Xuyun began to chant, and everyone was quiet, quietly listening to Xuyun's chanting.

A stream of Buddha light shrouded Liu Ming's body, making him intoxicated. After three quarters of an hour, Liu Ming let go of his throat and cried bitterly, he kowtowed again and again, his expression relaxed, and he was relieved.

"Thank you to Xuyun True Buddha, Liu Ming will believe in Buddhism in this life!" Liu Ming's forehead was broken, and he was grateful.

Xuyun smiled and did not speak.

Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, he looked at Liu Ming carefully, and had a strange feeling.

This Liu Ming is not relieved, he seems to be relaxed, but it is actually an illusion. The false image of the Buddha is a false confession. ”

Ye Fan said to himself, he didn't understand his heart, but he just felt like this.

Xuyun looked at him at this time: "Master, you seem to have objections?" When you and I open the altar, we have to argue with each other, and if you have objections, it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

Xuyun's words surprised everyone, and they all looked at Ye Fan, Liu Ming also looked at Ye Fan, and a trace of panic flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Ye Fan waved his hand: "I'm not a Buddha, but I just have a little experience in reciting the Great Compassion Mantra in the past two days, I seem to be able to feel this other person's heart, but I don't know how to get through his heart." ”

"The guru is humble, the Dharma does not pay much attention to the Dharma, and the guru is a Buddha if he has a feeling, please speak."

Xuyun raised his hand to signal, and Ye Fan nodded: "Then I told you, I don't think Liu Gongzi confessed." ”

The crowd was in an uproar, and Liu Ming shouted: "Ye Fan, I know you, you are a Jiangnan martial artist, what qualifications do you have to question the Xuyun True Buddha?" I've already confessed, shut up! ”
