"Brother Lu!" Wei Xuzhong patted Lu Xiaoxian's shoulder, "I'll take you to see the excitement today!" ”

"What's the excitement?" Lu Xiaoxian asked casually

I haven't seen any excitement in the later life, in his opinion, it is better to chat with Yin Feng and Lang Yue in the mansion.

Wei Xuzhong said mysteriously: "The White Horse Temple has set up an altar, and today Xue Guoshi is going to talk to the abbot of the Eight Great Temples in Luoyang!" ”

It is said that peers are enemies, and being a monk is no exception.

Cave Temple, Lingyan Temple, Qianyuan Temple, Guanghua Temple, Chongxun Temple, Baoying Temple, Jiashan Temple, Tianzhu Temple were also built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and called the Eight Great Temples of Luoyang. Before the Tang Dynasty, the fame of the Eight Great Temples in Luoyang was far greater than that of the White Horse Temple. But now because of Xue Huaiyi's reasons, the White Horse Temple is overwhelming the Eight Great Temples, and these abbots are of course not convinced, so there will be this lecture and fighting method

Lu Xiaoxian was not interested in what to teach the scriptures and fight the method, but the words "Xue Guoshi" attracted his attention.

When he first came to Luoyang, Lu Xiaoxian met Xue Huaiyi on the street, and Xue Huaiyi left a deep impression on Lu Xiaoxian at that time. He always felt that Xue Huaiyi had a familiar smell.

Last time, I had a night talk with Wang Xiaojie and listened to what Xue Huaiyi did from Wang Xiaojie's mouth, and the familiar taste made him feel more and more intense.

At this moment, hearing something related to Xue Huaiyi again, of course, would attract his attention. Lu Xiaoxian decided, it was necessary to go to the White Horse Temple with Wei Xuzhong.

White Horse Temple is located in the east of Luoyang City ten miles, was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty Yongping 11 years, is the first temple built by the imperial court after Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, it is said that it was named after the white horse carrying the Buddha statue of the scriptures at that time.

In the first year of the vertical arch, Wu Zetian ordered Xue Huaiyi to rebuild the White Horse Temple. Under the auspices of Xue Huaiyi, the White Horse Temple has become an unprecedentedly luxurious and magnificent large temple, the White Horse Temple sits in the north and faces south, the temple building layout is regular, and the style is simple. There is a tall stone archway in front of the temple gate, the temple is surrounded by river water, the temple is full of plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, flowers and trees become forests. There are dozens of halls in the temple, there are the Tianwang Palace, the Big Buddha Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Receiving Palace, the Pilu Pavilion, etc., all of which are listed on the central axis of the north-south direction. In addition, there are 1,000 monks' houses in the temple, and there are more than 3,000 monks.

After the White Horse Temple was rebuilt, Wu Zetian personally crowned Xue Huaiyi as the master of the White Horse Temple, and worshiped him as the national teacher, Xue Huaiyi often set up a dojo for Wu Zetian in the White Horse Temple to chant scriptures. Because of this, it will cause dissatisfaction among other temples.

It is said that after today's lecture on the scriptures and fighting methods, Xue Huaiyi will also select his successor from among the destined people present.

When Lu Xiaoxian and Wei Xuzhong arrived at the White Horse Temple, it was noon. There was already a sea of people in front of the altar, and the light was projected down from between the buildings and the branches, sprinkling a layer of mottled gold on the altar, and Xue Huaiyi and the abbots also had a few gold edges on their robes, as if they were all bathed in the sun.

Xue Huaiyi's face was solemn, he looked at the eight abbots in front of him, and his voice was extremely loud: "Learning Buddhism is to cultivate forbearance and humiliation, break self-grasping, and benefit sentient beings with great compassion and bodhicitta to be strong and competitive. ”

On behalf of the others, the abbot of Baoying Temple said: "Many people study the scriptures, not only do they not understand, but also have an empty and wrong understanding, so there is no real Dharma to dare to compete, and the Dharma does not go through competition, how can we remind sentient beings to prevent false saints and fake Dharma." ”

After listening to the words of the abbot of Baoying Temple, Xue Huaiyi knew that it would be useless to persuade again, so he held a Buddhist handprint and prepared to fight.

First of all, the abbots of Lingyan Temple, Qianyuan Temple, and Guanghua Temple, they joined forces to deal with Xue Huaiyi, and the three of them were menacing, and the roar of the handprint was shaking everywhere. Xue Huaiyi did not dare to be contemptuous, he was extremely vigilant, and responded with the four-armed Guanyin method.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the spirit, spirit, and techniques were staggered, and the atmosphere was lively and tense. In the stillness, the sword light flickered, and the handprints were neatly attacked, which made people feel thrilling. Xue Huaiyi is indeed worthy of being a national teacher, although he is one against three, he finally used the "Bundle Immortal Array" to tie up the three hosts, and the three of them were defeated because they couldn't move.

The other five hosts felt that Xue Huaiyi was not easy to deal with, so they studied countermeasures on the spot and decided that the five of them would join forces to fight the enemy.

The five of them worked together, with great momentum and incomparably fierceness, casting spells to tie up Xue Huaiyi, and the heartstrings of everyone present were tense. Just when it was difficult to distinguish and could not be decided, Xue Huaiyi recited the six-character Daming mantra and cast the "King Kong Armor Problem Solving Method" to counteract, and the five people could not parry, and were captured and thrown out of the ring by Xue Huaiyi.

It took less than an hour before and after, and Xue Huaiyi won a big victory. In the applause of the onlookers, Xue Huaiyi silently walked off the altar and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

Looking at Xue Huaiyi's back, that familiar feeling was about to come out, but it was a little bit worse.

What is it exactly?

Just when Lu Xiaoxian was puzzled, a small novice suddenly appeared in front of him.

Xiao Shami clasped his hands together and whispered to Lu Xiaoxian: "Master Lu, the master of the poor monk is invited!" ”

Wei Xuzhong was on the side, looking Xiao Shami up and down: "Who is your master?" ”

"The master of the poor monk is the national teacher of Huaiyi!"

"Huh? Is it Xue Guoshi? Wei Xuzhong stuck out his tongue, he felt strange, "Does Xue Guoshi know Lu Gongzi?" What did he ask Lu Gongzi to do? ”

Xiao Shami replied: "I don't know if the master recognizes the poor monk Lu Shizhu, but the master asked the poor monk to tell the poor monk that Lu Shizhu is destined to be a person, so he will ask the donor to talk about it!" ”

Wei Xuzhong looked at Lu Xiaoxian enviously, any good thing could happen to him, and being favored by Xue Guoshi, who was the most popular in the dynasty, was of course a great thing.

Wei Xuzhong wanted to go with him, but was stopped by Xiao Shami, who politely refused Wei Xuzhong: "Master confessed, only let Lu Shizhu go alone, please let this donor stay!" ”

No matter how horizontal Wei Xuzhong was, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in the White Horse Temple, so he had to smile: "If you don't go, you won't go, who let us not be destined?" ”

Walking into a quiet Zen courtyard at the back of the temple, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly felt a fresh and refreshing spleen, the surrounding pines and cypresses, the green water in the courtyard, and the gray and quiet meditation room, made him feel a sense of comfort and tranquility.

Stopping in front of the door of a meditation room, Xiao Shami clasped his hands together and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "Please come in, Master Lu Shi will wait, Master will come soon, and the poor monk will retire!" ”

After Xiao Shami left, Lu Xiaoxian pushed the door in.

The interior of the meditation room was spotless, and the layout was extremely simple, and when he looked around, he happened to see a word written on the wall, like a poem.

Lu Xiaoxian read softly, and as soon as he read the first sentence, he couldn't help but take a step back. Reading further, his voice began to tremble, and his heart beat a little irregularly.

When he finally finished reading, Lu Xiaoxian gasped heavily, feeling a faint pain in his chest, as if something was about to break out of his shell.

Although it is a very simple poem, it is like a basin of cold and biting ice water, which makes people's bones feel a chill at this moment.

Lu Xiaoxian was completely shocked.
