Chapter 330: The Struggle for Buddhism (1)
May 13th, Garan Bodhisattva Christmas. Huangyang Temple was officially opened to welcome pilgrims from all directions.
In the middle of the day, the outside of the Huangyang Temple was full of believers who came to worship, these people carried incense bags, folded their hands, and recited the Dharma name of "Amitabha Buddha" in their mouths, waiting for the mountain gate to open. The night is hazy, the tall temple looks solemn in the faint light of the fire candles, standing in front of the temple and looking out, the eaves are warped, outlining a strong silhouette in the night sky.
Zhao Thorn Shi lived in the Yellow Sheep Academy the day before, and before the time came, he got up to bathe and change clothes, and came to the temple to wait for the mountain gate to open, and he wanted to burn this pillar incense. According to the customs of the north of Dazheng, the head pillar incense is also called the head furnace incense, which is said to have the greatest merit and can receive the greatest protection and blessing of the Buddha.
Master Hongxin disagreed with Zhao Tingshi's behavior, but Huangyang Temple could not take root and grow rapidly in Lizhou without the help of this Assassin Shi, so he acquiesced to Zhao Shulun's first qualification to burn incense. Jiang Anyi stood quietly on the side, watching Master Hongxin lead the monks to do the rituals.
Cigarette smoke filled the sound of the bell chime, and several monks led by Master Hongxin were all in yellow cloth robes, draped in robes, with solemn faces, praying for the blessings of all beings. In the main hall, hundreds of fire candles surround the Buddha statue, reflecting the golden body of the Buddha shining, the Buddha's face is compassionate, and his eyes are softly looking down at the living beings in front of him.
Jiang Anyi is the protector of Buddhism, Master Hongxin and Master Guangming have saved his life, not to mention the wooden card on his body to save him several times, under the solemn environmental influence, Jiang Anyi put his palms together and gently recited the Buddha's name with the believers.
The sky is getting brighter, the brilliant morning glow is lit up in the east, the apricot yellow courtyard wall of Huangyang Temple, the blue-gray temple ridge, the vermilion doorpost, and the golden Buddha statue make people worship more and more, and everyone recites the Buddha's name more and more piously.
Jiang Anyi was immersed in the solemn chanting, his heart became peaceful and tranquil, no joy or sorrow, no desire and no desire, and his heart opened up to the sentences on the "Heart Sutra", "...... Therefore, there is no color in the air, no thoughts, no thoughts, no thoughts, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, no color, sound, fragrance, touch, no vision, and even no consciousness. There is no ignorance, there is no end to ignorance, there is no old age and death, there is no old age and death, and there is no suffering to gather and extinguish the path. There is no wisdom and no ......"
I feel as if I have turned into a wisp of cigarette, floating freely in the main hall, with the sound of chanting Buddha happily wandering between the fingers and chest of the Buddha, a little light in the dantian is condensed, and the true qi is rushing back and forth between the meridians, like a river rushing towards the light at the dantian. If he meditates on weekdays, Jiang Anyi will inevitably be shocked to stop exercising, and at this moment, Jiang Anyi only has an ethereal consciousness, no self and feelings, no disillusionment of life and death, and no boundaries, as the Heart Sutra says, to achieve "the heart is unhindered".
"When", with a chime, Jiang Anyi woke up from the mystery. The moment he regained consciousness, the first rays of sunlight from the east shone on the glass beads on the spire of the temple's prayer tower, refracting colorful light. Jiang Anyi felt the qi of heaven and earth surging into his body, and under his inner view, his body merged with heaven and earth, the sun went straight in, and the wind drifted through with the fragrance of flowers, as pure as the air under the sun.
The Yuan Xuan Heart Method is the supreme Dafa, and the benefits of his cultivation are more than ten times that of ordinary people, so that he can compete with a master like Yang Yudong who has been practicing for more than 50 years after practicing for less than ten years. If you are an ordinary martial artist, it is difficult to touch the threshold of refining qi and transforming gods without twenty years of hard work.
One drink and one peck, the internal strength is too fast, and it also brings him the danger of being easy to go mad, Jiang Anyi has faced life and death several times, if it weren't for his deep opportunity, I'm afraid he would have already broken his pulse and would have died.
Jiang Anyi was terrified in his heart, and he forcibly entered the realm of refining gods and returning to the void when he went mad in the capital that day, if it wasn't for Master Guangming arriving in time, he would have died in Jiuquan. Therefore, Jiang Anyi knew that he had reached the extreme of refining qi and transforming gods, and he raised his hands and feet to have enough true qi, but he did not dare to try to break through the level and move towards refining and transforming gods.
Master Hongxin came to Fuluo County, Jiang Anyi asked the master for advice, Master Hongxin has never heard of Jiang Anyi's situation, less than ten years of kung fu, can actually refine the gas and transform the god to perfection, there is no shortage of geniuses in the rivers and lakes, many people do not break through the refining and refining gas in less than ten years to enter the realm of refining and refining the god, and the internal qi is born and built into a foundation, becoming a master of the inner family, but there is no one like Jiang Anyi who can refine the gas and transform the god to perfection.
In the memory of Master Hongxin, Taihe Zhenren, the top master of the Great Wei Dynasty, also broke through to the realm of refining gods and returning to the void at the age of thirty-six. Master Hongxin himself entered the realm of refining gods and returning to the void five years ago, as far as he knows, there are also several uncles in Mingpu Temple who have entered this realm, with the size of the rivers and lakes, it is estimated that there are always twenty or thirty people who can enter the realm of refining gods and returning to the void, most of them are old men over sixty.
In view of Jiang Anyi's situation, Master Hongxin and his uncle Master Guangming have the same opinion, thinking that Jiang Anyi should not be anxious, and should further consolidate the Yuan Shen, and want to be quick but not reach. In fact, in addition to Jiang Anyi's special Yuan Xuan Mental Method, he also has the help of Master Guangming for ten years, and he is just a piece of window paper from the realm of refining gods and returning to the void, and he will naturally break through with a slight poke of his hand. This time by chance, Jiang Anyi was touched by Buddhism, turned to recite the "Heart Sutra", became enlightened, and easily passed the level without thinking and ignorance.
Feeling the change in himself, Jiang Anyi was moved by a kind of tears, his ears were the sound of everyone reciting Buddha sincerely, and people constantly entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall to incense, standing outside the hall door, Jiang Anyi knelt down reverently, bowed down to the golden body of the Buddha in the hall, and offered a petal of incense.
On Huangyang Mountain, there are pilgrims and tourists everywhere, fortunately, the whole Huangyang Mountain is big enough, Jiang Anyi let people build a lot of pavilions when building temples and academies, and the railings were set up in dangerous places, this former bandit's den has beautiful scenery, satisfying the hearts of many people.
The sun has set in the west, and many pilgrims and tourists have begun to embark on the return journey. Jiang Anyi considered that Huangyang Mountain will become a place for tourists to come and go in the future, and a piece of land was leveled on the flat land into the mountain, and some businessmen saw the opportunity, and in less than two months, a number of hotels, inns, and incense shops appeared here, which reminded Jiang Anyi of the fact that he often went to the farm at the foot of the academy with Li Shicheng in Zechang Academy to fight tooth sacrifices, and it seems that it will not be long before there will be more market towns under Huangyang Mountain.
A mountain peak a little far away from the Huangyang Temple and the Huangyang Academy, which has not yet been developed, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and most of the tourists stop at the foot of the mountain. The mountains are lush with trees, and the scenery is lush as far as the eye can see. At the top of the hill is a pine forest, under which there is a boulder shaped like a lying cow, and three people are sitting in the open space next to the rock, eating dry food.
The three of them, one old and two strong, are all wearing strong suits, the old man has white hair, and he looks similar in age to Fan Yanzhong. The strong man on the left is in his early forties, with tiger head and leopard eyes, dense mustache, looking powerful and fierce, and the man on the right is a little younger, with a white face and a slight beard, and his demeanor is gentle, he is untying the roast chicken wrapped in oil paper, tearing off a leg and handing it to the old man: "Master, eat chicken legs." ”
The bearded man stretched out his hand and tore off half of the roast chicken with his legs, regardless of the head and tail, stuffed it in his mouth and chewed it, eating it until the oil and water flowed down the corners of his mouth. The white-faced man grabbed a piece of beef and sandwiched it in the steamed bun, gnawed it unhurriedly, and asked in his mouth: "Master, I heard that the Hongxin monk is good, and he still has a few apprentices by his side, and the three of us master and apprentice may not be his opponents." ”
"Senior brother is cowardly", the bearded man sneered: "Let's not compare moves with him, just set fire to his broken temple at night, and when he finds out, we will already go down the mountain." ”
The old man also said: "We are in the shadows, they are defenseless. Besides, Hongxin and they are busy and tired all day today, and they are estimated to have rested long ago in the evening, so where would they think of us going to set fires. ”
The white-faced man sighed: "The Taoists have been forced to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Buddhism sect will not let go, send this Hongxin monk south to preach the Dharma, and not give us a way to live." Anlong Temple is huge in Dezhou and Renzhou, and now even Lizhou is not let go, and there will be another ten years, and there will be no people who believe in Taoism in this world. ”
The old man is the master of Daluo Palace in Changchang County, Lizhou, and the bearded man and the white-faced man are his personal disciples sincerity and sincerity. Master Hongxin came to Lizhou Huangyang to preach the Dharma, and Zhiming Zhenren got the news from the mouths of pilgrims, and knew that the government was vigorously promoting it in the back. Fuluo County seven-day festival so that many pilgrims have converted to Buddhism, seeing that the incense on the mountain is less, to Ming Zhenren can not sit still, this time Huangyang Temple opened, to Ming Zhenren with two apprentices to change their makeup down the mountain, want to come to explore the end, find out the countermeasures.
Huangyang Temple was opened, Zhao Tingshi burned the incense of the head pillar, and the pilgrims behind were in an endless stream all morning, and the three masters and apprentices went down the mountain at noon and found this place to rest. The incense of the temple is so prosperous that the three of them are envious and do not feel red, and the bearded man sincerely suggested that the fire be set off to burn the Huangyang Temple, and then it was said that it was a disaster from heaven, and the three of them discussed the second watch tonight.
