The wind blows, and the dragon curtains flutter.

The military flag in the army is whirring, and the golden dragon on it is lifelike, as if it is about to fly into the sky at any moment.

But when they reached the east gate, the army suddenly stopped.

Yue Peng suddenly shouted: "Who is blocking the holy driver!" ”

At the entrance of the road outside the city gate, there is an old monk wearing a tattered robe in the middle, like an ascetic.

The gray monk's robe was covered with patches almost everywhere, but the old monk who was old and had a bell released an unusually peaceful atmosphere.

There is a kind of person, even if he returns to the basics, he looks extraordinary.

However, this is probably thanks to the strange beast that the old monk sat down.

An old turtle the size of a millstone.

The old turtle is even older than the old monk, and his eyelids are drooping, as if he is infinitely tired.

The old monk folded his hands, but when he opened his mouth, his tongue was thunderous, and his voice was like thunder, "The poor monk has no choice but to see the saint." ”

The horses in front of the army were startled by this sound, and raised their front hooves uneasily, neighing.

The murderous aura naturally condensed in the army seemed to disappear from a distance a few feet in front of this old monk.

Yue Peng's face was slightly solemn.

Facing this old monk, he suddenly had a feeling of facing an unshakable mountain. Immovable as a mountain.

"There is nothing in the world."

Next to Long Yuan, Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu both showed surprise at the same time.

Immediately, Hong Wutian's figure suddenly stepped forward, and when he arrived in front of the army, he laughed loudly: "Hong Wutian has seen the Buddha who is not alive. ”

He actually held the junior ceremony.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Xu also swept to the front of the army, and the same was true.

The wrinkles on his face stretched out, "It turned out to be the leader of the beggar gang, and the poor monk was polite." ”

As for Mrs. Xu, he didn't know him, he just nodded slightly, which was considered a courtesy.

Yue Peng asked in surprise, "The two seniors know this senior?" ”

Hong Wutian smiled: "In my early years, I had the privilege of visiting the living Buddha. ”

Taoism has heavenly masters, and Buddhism has living Buddhas. It is conceivable how high the status of the old monk is in Buddhism.

Yue Peng didn't dare to slack off, and arched his hand and said: "If the Buddha in the world is a little bit, I will go to report to the saint." ”

At this time, Zhao Dongting had already stepped down from the dragon chariot and walked forward.

Yue Peng had just dismounted, and he had already arrived in front of the army. I was really surprised to see nothing.

Just by looking like this, you know that you are a master of the world.

Zhao Dongting has seen horseback riding, bull riding, and donkey riding, but he has never seen a turtle riding.

Can ordinary people have such an aura?

He also heard Hong Wutian's loud greeting just now, and smiled at Wude and said, "It turns out that the Buddha is in the world." ”

After coming to the Southern Song Dynasty for such a long time, he also knew what the living Buddha represented. If there is no such existence, it is all at the level of Zhao Tianshi of Longhu Mountain.

Living Buddhas have a supreme position in Buddhism.

Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all beings, but in fact, Buddhism is highly hierarchical.

Of course, even if he is a living Buddha, he will not be able to make Zhao Dongting salute.

This is mainly because Zhao Dongting does not believe in the sky.

There were many emperors in the previous generation who regarded Buddha and Taoism as a beacon and made their status extremely lofty, but Zhao Dongting would not do this.

He does not seek heaven, he does not seek eternal life. Only believe in what you want, and you need to fight for it.

Yes, he was just polite to Wude.

In the end, the Great Song Dynasty is still the world of secular emperors, and unlike Dali, Buddhism has the status of being able to dominate the royal family.

Wude put his hands together again, and said, "The poor monk has never seen the saint." ”

Zhao Dongting said: "I just heard that the living Buddha wants to see me, I don't know what it is?" ”

He can't really talk about enthusiasm.

The Taoist gate entered the WTO, and the Buddha gate was born. When the Great Song Dynasty was in danger, why didn't this Wude come?

For example, on the side of Longhu Mountain, although it didn't help much, it finally made a promise, didn't it?

Moreover, in Zhao Dongting's view, Buddhism is ultimately flowing in from abroad, while Taoism is local.

Therefore, Zhao Dongting's heart is still slightly biased towards the Daomen.

I didn't know if I noticed that Zhao Dongting's attitude towards him was not very enthusiastic, and the old turtle under the seat suddenly raised his head and snorted.

Wu Dedao: "The poor monk asked the same saint to go to Dingjun Mountain to surpass the soul." ”

"This ......"

This was indeed unexpected by Zhao Dongting.

He originally thought that he had to come here to seek luck for Buddhism. Now in Leizhou, the Daomen has completely suppressed the Buddhism.

Transcendent Souls?

Is this a good deal?

Zhao Dongting would never refuse the kindness of Wude, and said: "In this way, there will be a living Buddha." ”

He will not worship this kind of transcendent sect, but he will not offend either.

There are many Buddhist believers, and it is not a good thing to be offended.

Moreover, Zhao Dongting still agrees with the view that Buddhism has the virtue of a good life. Teach people to be good, and it is beneficial to the people.

"Thank you, Holy Lord."

There is no need to turn to the Buddha's teachings, "Amitabha." ”

After that, the old turtle turned around and seemed to stagger towards the sea. But the speed is not slow.

Zhao Dongting glanced at the back of the old turtle for a few moments, and also turned around and went to the dragon chariot.

The army continued on its march and soon left the city.

Zhao Dongting muttered in the dragon chariot, "Riding a turtle, well, it's very stylish......"

He lifted the curtain and looked out of the car, and asked Hong Wutian: "Senior, which temple is this Wude senior from?" ”

Hong Wutian replied: "The living Buddha is a walking monk who travels all over the world all year round, and he is not listed in any monastery. ”

"Oh?"

Zhao Dongting was surprised again.

There is no temple, but it is overtaken for the souls of the dead. From this point of view, this Buddha who has no living Buddha is really a good person who has compassion for the world.

Then Zhao Dongting asked again: "He travels all year round, and he rides that old turtle?" ”

Hong Wutian looked at Zhao Dongting's eyes, knew that Zhao Dongting was curious, and chuckled: "Speaking of this old turtle, there is also a story. It was also since then that the Buddha who had no living Buddha became famous in Buddhism, and after several debates on Buddhism, he was regarded as a living Buddha by the Buddhist monks. ”

"What's the story?"

Zhao Dongting was even more curious.

There are only six living Buddhas in the whole world, and because of the old turtle, he quickly became a living Buddha?

Hong Wutian said: "It is rumored that this old turtle was a demon turtle in Dongting Lake back then, and he often chooses people to eat them, especially children." Over the decades, hundreds of people around the lake have died because of it. coincided with the year of the big water, no predecessors traveled to the shore of Dongting Lake, saw the demon turtle in the muddy yellow lake water hidden turtle back, heard the demon turtle for the disaster of his mouth to declare the Buddha's name, waded into the muddy yellow water alone, let the water man head on the head, until the demon turtle approached. After two days of rough seas, the waters suddenly receded. No predecessors out of the lake, the old turtle followed, one person and one turtle sat on the lakeside, no predecessors did not eat or drink, chanted the Buddha for six days, and spent the soul of the dead before leaving. Since then, the old turtle has become a divine beast under his seat. ”

Zhao Dongting was stunned when he heard this.

After a long time, he nodded and retracted his head back into the dragon chariot.

If he had lived in his previous life, he would not have believed such a story. This is definitely apocryphal, but what he has seen and heard in this life really makes him muttered a little in his heart.

If you are one of those peerless masters, it is really not impossible to go on a hunger strike for six days. It's not impossible to stay underwater for two days.

Fetal breathing technique, this kind of technique, Zhao Dongting will also.

It's just that after being able to fight the old turtle in the water for two days, and after subduing the old turtle, the water will recede. That's a bit of a god.

Although the old turtle was indeed miraculous, Zhao Dongting still didn't think it had the ability to raise a big water.

Capable people, capable people.

In the dragon chariot, Zhao Dongting nodded vigorously with emotion.

He is undoubtedly still very far from the realm of nothingness.

In front of the army, the old turtle staggered step by step, but always walked in front of the army.

By the time they reached the seashore, more than a dozen warships had been parked side by side on the sea.

Zhao Dongting got off the dragon chariot and got on the boat, looked at the sea, and found that the old turtle had no way to go to the sea.

The sea is not calm, but the old turtle is always calm.

This is the master of the world.

Undoubtedly, in terms of appearance, there is no more than Hong Wutian and Xu Fu.

Zhao Dongting thought, probably just let the dragonfly water on the surface of the lake, and the chic of the water does not stick to the cloth shoes can be compared with this.

At this moment, he really envied this living Buddha in his heart.

He also wanted to have a mount like the old turtle, but such a strange beast was destined to be rare in the world. Even if you are an emperor, don't think about getting it at your fingertips.

More than ten warships braved the wind and waves and headed towards Jiezhou Island.

The sun was shining golden, scattered on the old monk in front, making the old monk feel like a golden light.

Some soldiers in the army knelt on the ground, facing the old monk, and chanted words in their mouths.

That's the power of faith.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw that some of his guards were kneeling.
