There is a dilapidated village temple seventy miles away from Chang'an City, which is said to be a temple, but it is not the Bodhisattva Arhat of Buddhism, let alone the Great Wheel Ming King, but a land temple. But there is no doubt that as long as the temple is in the Great Sui incense, don't expect it to be vigorous. The land lord in this temple may feel extremely aggrieved and moved away in a fit of anger. Later, whoever built a house in the village did not have enough materials to demolish it, so that after a long time, only four remnants of the temple remained.

The Central Plains dynasty before the Great Sui was called Da Zheng, the royal family. But this Wang clan and the Jiangnan Wang clan are not the same family, and they finally collapsed after more than 400 years. However, the most similar thing between the Wang Great Zheng and the current Great Sui is that neither of these dynasties was interested in Buddhism.

The difference is that Da Zheng has opened a gap in Buddhism. Some monks from the West came to the Central Plains to preach, and although they did not let Buddhism flourish, they barely stood on their feet. After the fall of Dazheng, Emperor Taizu of the Great Sui issued an order to expel the monks from the country. Since then, there has been no Buddha in the Central Plains. It is said that the reason why Emperor Taizu hated monks so much was because when he raised his army, the people of Buddhism had secretly helped the Great Zheng Dynasty. According to Taizu's tough temperament, how can he endure it?

That's why the people of Buddhism say that the Central Plains is a place where demons are rampant, because the monks who built a few temples in Dazheng with great difficulty were driven back. After a little hesitation, a big stick came over.

This land temple has nothing to do with the temple of Buddhism, but it was also implicated because of the Great Sui exorcism. You must know that in the past hundred years from the founding of the Great Sui to the present Emperor Yang Yi, the Great Sui has been in a period when the whole people have no religious beliefs. Taoism was vigorously promoted by Emperor Tianyou after he ascended the throne, and before that, the only belief of the people of the Great Sui was His Majesty the Emperor.

The people firmly believed that the Great Sui Emperor could bring them a prosperous and beautiful life.

And the successive emperors of the Great Sui did this, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The rich are not arrogant, the poor are not humble, and the people do not need any religious beliefs for such a good life. And the Buddhism could not find anything to lure the people into opposing the tyranny of the imperial court, even if there were some injustices in the world, it could not make the people dissatisfied with the imperial court in their hearts.

It's a very peculiar time, it's a very peculiar country.

A hundred years later, even King Dalun Ming gave up the idea of continuing to preach in the Central Plains. Of course, the current Great Wheel Ming King and the Great Wheel Ming King a hundred years ago are not the same person. The change of the king of Buddhism is very mysterious, by the previous king of the Ming before the appointment of the successor, and then the king of the Ming will take this person into the holy land of Buddhism, the top of the snow mountain of the king of the golden palace of the king of the Ming Palace, seven days later, the new king of the Ming out of the secret room, inherit the mantle, the body of the previous king of the Ming will remain in the secret room.

No one is allowed to see the body of the previous Ming King again.

Regardless of whether the new Ming King cultivated to a high level before taking over, he became the first person in the world after receiving the inheritance. How these seven days made an ordinary person become the strongest person in the Buddhist sect, no one except King Ming knows.

Many people speculate that Buddhism must have a wonderful method for transmitting gong. Before his death, the old Ming King passed on his life's cultivation to the new Ming King.

The Land Temple was crumbling to the point of crumbling, and even the remaining four walls had collapsed quite a bit. It can't shelter from the wind or rain, and if it weren't for the occasional cricket catching and playing in the village, no one would have come to this place. In the corner of the wall, an old monk in a gray cloth monk's robe put down the young man he was holding in his arms, looked at the injuries on his body, frowned slightly, and recited a sentence of King Ming's mercy.

He took out a jade bottle from his bosom and poured out a dark green pill. He pried open the young man's mouth and stuffed the pill inside, then took some of the rainwater that had accumulated in the ruined temple and fed the young man a few sips. The rain had fallen a few days ago, and it already smelled fishy, but the old monk didn't seem to care, and after feeding the young man a few sips, he drank some himself.

After drinking the water, he sat down cross-legged in a fairly clean place and closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, but the unconscious young man suddenly coughed a few times, a stream of black blood gushed out of his mouth, and his chest rose and fell extremely violently.

The old monk slowly opened his eyes and looked at him, only to see the young man's smooth black hair fall to the ground like snow in an instant. After a while, there was not a single hair on that head.

The old monk waited for the young man's hair to fall out, but he couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he vomited blood again. He got up and walked over and helped the young monk to sit up. Uncovering his torn clothes, he looked at the bloody hole that the young man had previously covered his body with scars.

I don't know what kind of elixir the old monk fed before, and it has this miraculous effect.

After a few more moments, the young monk slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes and saw that the kind-eyed old monk was looking at him, he quickly got up and knelt down and kowtowed.

"The disciple is incompetent, please punish the teacher."

……

……

The old monk sat cross-legged on the ground, smiled and said to Chenya: "Before you come to the Great Sui, I will determine that you will have a catastrophe. If you survive this calamity, it will not be a good thing for your cultivation. ”

"If there was no master, the disciple would have died long ago."

Dust bowed his head.

"You idiot, I am your master, you are my disciple, if I don't cross you, who will cross you if I don't cross the calamity? When you left the Great Snow Mountain, I gave you a Sumeru Dan, just because I expected that you would have this bloody disaster. It's a pity that you, an idiot, are too obsessed, and you actually made that Sumeru Pill a killing weapon. Not only did they fail to retreat from the enemy, but they almost lost their lives. If you want me to save your life with one more Bodhi Dan, this is where I am dissatisfied. ”

"The disciple knows that he is wrong."

Chenya bowed and said: "The disciple underestimated the Sui people, and he was defeated today." ”

"Being able to recognize the mistakes you have made and introspect yourself is growth, and it is not in vain for you to come to Dasui for this trip."

"Master, how did you come to Chang'an?"

Chenya asked curiously.

"I told you before you came, the Pure Land of the Great Heaven and Earth in the West, and the Demons in the East, don't think that you are good at cultivating and don't take demons in your eyes. Your cultivation time is still short, and I don't know how many great demons have appeared in the Central Plains that even King Ming has looked at. Eleven years ago, there was a demon who set out from Chang'an City in the Great Sui Dynasty and traveled all the way to the west and entered the Pure Land of the Western Great Heaven and Earth. King Ming noticed it and sent his disciples to subdue the demons. ”

"Who would have thought that the devil's cultivation was so high that he killed several Arhats one after another, and there were many followers around him who were all good cultivators. When King Ming heard that his disciple had been martyred, he sent my senior brother Dazi Tianzun and my junior brother Lingbao Tianzun down the mountain to meet the enemy. Lingbao fought with the devil and was defeated. Senior Brother Da Zizai personally took action, but he didn't stop the devil from continuing to move west. The Pure Land of the Western Great Heaven and Earth was devastated because of the arrival of those demons, and King Ming personally went down the mountain and was angry, which suppressed the demon. ”

"Eleven years ago, the demon's invasion was sealed. Don't let your disciples know to the world, do you know why? ”

"The disciple is stupid"

"Because if this matter is known, the status of my Buddha sect will be shaken. All over the world, except for the Sui people, they all believe in King Ming. Whether it is a disciple of Buddhism or a layman, they all know that Wang Ming's cultivation is unparalleled in the world, but in that battle...... King Ming was actually injured. ”

"Huh?!"

Chenya raised his head violently, his face full of incredulity.

"Who's that guy?!"

He asked, surprised.

"I only know that it is a member of the Great Sui Imperial Family."

The old monk sighed: "If this matter is known to the disciples, it will be unbearable. King Ming had great wisdom and knew that if this matter was publicized, the ordinary people and disciples of Buddhism who believed in King Ming would definitely be furious. But the Sui people are all demons, so how can they be afraid of war? Once a war starts, lives will be destroyed. I don't know how many people will die and how many rivers and mountains will be destroyed. Now that the demon has been suppressed, King Ming decided to seal the matter. ”

"What does this have to do with your coming to the Central Plains, Master?"

Chenya asked.

The old monk was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "Not long after you entered the Great Sui, another demon headed west. ”

"Ahh

Chenya was shocked by what the old monk said one after another, and felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat: "But ...... But it's as fierce as the demon eleven years ago? ”

"It's not as good as it, but it's not much different."

The old monk said: "King Ming couldn't go out of retreat eleven years ago, and the senior brother of Shiyuan of the Discipline Academy took the golden-bodied monk soldiers to meet the enemy in the snowy mountain. Senior Brother Da Zizai was afraid that the Sui people would still have backup, so he asked me to go to the Central Plains to check. After all, eleven years ago, the big demon traveled west with hundreds of followers, and this time, this demon only brought one person, which was extremely strange. Senior Brother Da Zizai was worried that the Sui people would have a follow-up move, so I came. I wanted to check it secretly, and then I took you back, but I didn't expect that there are still many masters among the Sui people now, and even I have to be surprised that the Sui people are so demonic. ”

"Master, let's go back to the Great Snow Mountain?"

"Well, naturally I'm going back."

"But ......"

Chenya paused, and then stopped.

The old monk said indifferently: "But you are unwilling, right?" You came to kill the solution, but you almost died here. If you don't kill him, you can't be quiet in your heart, can you? ”

"Yes!"

Chenya bowed his head and said: "King Ming once said that there is a fine dust in the hearts of disciples. If you can't get rid of this dust, you won't be able to complete it after all. The disciple has practiced for many years but does not know what the dust in his heart is, and after arriving in the Great Sui, he thought that this dust was the fear of a strong enemy, but after a difficulty, the disciple had an epiphany, and the dust in the disciple's heart was the solution and not the Taoist Sect, if he was not removed, he would not be able to be at peace in his heart. ”

"Idiot"

The old monk shook his head and sighed: "I thought that you would be able to comprehend the teachings of the King of Transparency through this difficulty, but who would have thought that you would fall deeper and deeper. ”

"Please ask the master to solve your doubts"

Chenya bowed down, touched the ground with his head and said sincerely: "The disciple is dull and can't comprehend the mantra of King Ming's wonderful law. ”

The old monk glanced at Chenya with pity and said, "You are the most intelligent disciple under my seat, I thought that you would be able to understand it yourself without teaching you anything." Now it seems that the more intelligent people are, the easier it is to lose their way. The dust in your heart is not any enemy, but yourself. ”

"Myself?"

Chenya was stunned for a moment and said, "The disciple is puzzled. ”

"You always think you can be fulfilled, and you are anxious to be fulfilled. This is the dust in your heart, and since you were young and beginning to practice, you have thought very highly of yourself, and it is my fault that I didn't point it out. Today, I will say that you know that your dust is your obsession. When you are no longer obsessed with perfection, you can attain perfection. ”

"Obsession?"

Chenya was silent for a while, and bowed down again: "Disciple understands. ”

"No...... You still don't get it. ”

The old monk smiled and said, "If you understand, you won't say you understand." How can you understand the wonder of the Dharma if you want to understand it? ”

At this time, the old monk pointed outside and said, "What is that?" ”

Chenya glanced out and saw someone walking in the distance. Carrying a package on his back and a wooden stick in his hand as a cane, he had obviously made the long journey.

"That's the Sui people"

Dusty Road.

"Wrong"

The old monk said lightly: "That's a demon, the Sui people have their skins, but the skins are full of devils." ”

He looked outside and asked, "What's that?" ”

"That's a demon"

"Wrong"

"Huh? Why is the disciple wrong again? ”

"He is a Sui person, and his demonic nature has not been born. Before the Demon Birth, he was still human. ”

"The disciple doesn't understand."

"It's good if you don't understand, and if you understand, you don't understand."

The old monk got up and pointed to the people who were walking this way outside. The man's body shuddered, and then he fell limply.

"Bring him in, and let's go."

"Why do you want to take him?"

"Are you hungry?"

The old monk suddenly asked.
