Chapter 34: The Buddha's Voice

At this time, the people in Heian Temple were all awake, but due to the remnants of the Buddha's supernatural powers, most of the people who came to their senses were very friendly.

People who usually make enemies are holding hands at this moment to release their previous suspicions. Those who used to oppress good and evil, now they may kneel on the ground and weep bitterly, and speak loudly about their crimes. Or meet someone who has been bullied, kneel in front of them, hug their thighs, and beg for forgiveness with a handful of snot and tears.

As soon as Xia Mu entered the door, he was dumbfounded when he saw the harmonious scene that could be seen everywhere in the temple. Although he had long expected the consequences of the Buddha's supernatural powers, he felt a little unreal when he actually saw this scene.

"It's... It's true. Xia Curtain found that for a moment, he could not find the words to describe the harmonious and absurd scene in front of him.

"I didn't expect that this Buddha voice had dissipated, and the remaining supernatural power could affect it for so long. City Lord Zhao was also shocked by the scene in front of him. He has been in Ping'an City for so many years, and he has never seen such a sincere and harmonious scene between the people.

"Send someone to keep this place under control, and those who speak of their crimes, record them as well. After Xia Mu finished speaking, he walked straight to the main hall, suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to the city lord of Zhao: "Where is the original abbot of this temple?"

Zhao City Lord's face was strange, he turned his head and pointed to the house with two stone lions at the door of a house in the distance, Xia Mu stared in the direction pointed by Zhao City Lord's finger, and the magic flowed, and four big characters appeared clearly in front of him, I Buddha Dart Bureau.

The corners of Xia Mu's mouth twitched, thinking of the name of this Ping'an Temple, and he was immediately relieved, this abbot took the name, which was very simple and rude. Presumably, the establishment of a temple in a place like Heian Castle is also his own master.

"A good monk doesn't do it, why do you do such a knife licking blood for a living, it seems that this abbot should be a person with six impure roots. Xia Mu said with a smile.

City Lord Zhao glanced at the courtyard in the distance, turned his head and replied: "This abbot was originally the first in the west hall of Fahua Temple, and later led a group of monks to set up a temple in Ping'an City for some reason. ”

Speaking of this, a strange look appeared on City Lord Zhao's face: "Since the opening of the Divine Power Ban, the Divine Buddha needs to pay a great price if he wants to reveal his Dharma appearance in Ping'an City. And the people of Ping'an City are the most pragmatic, to put it simply, for the gods and Buddhas, the people are that if you don't do things for me, I won't believe in you. Therefore, temples and Taoist temples have lost their incense, and they naturally fall down. ”

After speaking, City Lord Zhao paused. When Xia Mu heard this, his face already showed an interested look, and he urged: "Oh? So, does this abbot have the ability to communicate with the gods and Buddhas here?" ”

City Lord Zhao shook his head and said: "That's not the case, this territory was originally used to build teahouses and restaurants for people, but that group of monks came to me with several boxes full of gold and silver treasures, and they couldn't help but say that they wanted to rent this territory to build a temple." ”

Xia curtain walked out of the gate quickly, looked around, surrounded by teahouses and restaurants such leisure places, there are pedestrians coming and going on weekdays, not to mention that the night is full of people, if the pure place of Buddhism is set up here, I am afraid that the monks in the temple will be difficult to have a moment of purity.

He looked back at City Lord Zhao and said with a smile on his face, "Then City Lord Zhao rented this land boundary to them for the sake of those boxes of treasures?"

City Lord Zhao's face was calm, and he said, "That's right. Xia Mu stared at the face of the Zhao City Lord, who was slightly bowed at the waist, his eyelids were slightly heavy, and he looked down.

After a while, Xia Mu laughed, waved his hand, and said, "I thought that City Lord Zhao was perfect, but I didn't expect that it would be difficult to give up these worldly things. It's okay, greed for money is not a big deal, and besides, you are a capable person, these small hobbies are not enough to worry about. ”

City Lord Zhao replied gratefully: "Your Highness Xie is tolerant of me! Your subordinates will..." Xia Mu waved his hand, opened his mouth to interrupt City Lord Zhao's words, and said, "Okay, okay, don't talk about this, where did you talk just now, keep talking." ”

City Lord Zhao lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head again and replied: "I just mentioned that some monks came to me to rent land to set up temples with treasures, and I even suspected that they were robbers in disguise, if it wasn't for the person who invited me to visit the city to see his dharma, I might have sent someone to take them down for interrogation." ”

City Lord Zhao glanced at Xia Mu, and saw that Xia Mu did not react, so he continued with interest: "Later, they invited someone to build a temple, and there would be many pilgrims at the beginning, but after a long time, none of the pilgrims' requests were answered, and no one came to repay their wishes, so this temple began to fall down as expected at the beginning, the temple had no livelihood, and the rented land naturally reached the due date, although they gave a lot of treasures, but it was not worth mentioning in Ping'an City." ”

"So then they changed it to a dart game, and it got bigger and bigger, right? Xia Mu said.

"Exactly. City Lord Zhao replied, "But even if they don't become monks, they still maintain the precepts, don't drink alcohol or eat meat, and even when the bodyguards fight with people, they will collectively chant mantras after killing others." ”

"Oh, that's a strange game. Xia Mu was amazed, and then said to himself: "I don't know if the appearance of the Buddha here has something to do with them."

When the city lord heard this, he said, "Why don't I call the abbot and ask about it." Xia Mu nodded and said, "Very good, you go and call him." Then he turned around and walked into the main hall, and the city lord of Zhao also summoned a person to go to the courtyard.

As soon as Xia Mu stepped into the main hall, the sound of reciting scriptures came from his head. Xia Mu silently recited the Dharma in his heart to dispel these voices.

His eyes were closed, and when he opened them, his eyes were shrouded in gold, and an ancient and majestic aura descended on Xia Mu's body, which made the City Lord Zhao who then stepped into the main hall unable to help but weaken his legs and feet, looking at the back of Xia Mu, City Lord Zhao recalled the scene of the Holy Time in his mind.

It was an indescribably majestic man, exuding the same ancient and coercive aura, but far more powerful than the aura at this time. Around him, it was as if he was the master of heaven and earth, and he was a trembling ant.

The city lord of Zhao was only a newcomer to the extraordinary, and was recommended by his mentor, Zeng Yanru, who was in the Ministry of Rites, to go to Ping'an City to serve as the city lord, which was enough to make all officials blush, even if they were bankrupt, but just because of a few words that Shangshu understated, he asked for this position from Emperor Xia.

The city lord of Zhao is in dark contrast, different from the heroic righteousness of his mentor, what Emperor Xia has is the supreme domineering spirit that dominates the heavens and the earth. And the summer curtain in front of him is just like a young dragon patrolling his territory, which is not the same as the first two.

Xia Mu's face was expressionless, and between the opening and closing of his eyes, the gold in his eyes had quietly faded, and when Lord Zhao saw this, he stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness has a harvest." ”

Xia Mu did not answer, but walked to a table, pointed to the sword, carved three lines of strange-shaped symbols on the table, turned to the city lord of Zhao and said, "Do you know these words. ”

City Lord Zhao looked at the words on the table, tried to recall for a moment, and replied: "This seems to be a scripture written in Sanskrit in the Western Regions, I have seen the teacher write it, but I don't recognize the specifics. ”

Xia Mu sighed, looked at the scriptures on the table, and then seemed to remember something, and asked, "Is the abbot here?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a loud voice by the door: "Early in the morning, what are you pulling me up from the bed, big monk, I don't want to sleep." Even if the city lord looks for me, he has to let me change my clothes. ”

Hearing this, Xia Mu walked outside the hall, and at this time the officials were evacuating the crowd, and those who complained bitterly about their crimes were also detained by the officials, and someone next to them was scribbling back and forth on the blank paper, presumably recording the guilt of this person.

A middle-aged man with a kind face, six ring scars on his head, like a laughing Buddha, was pulled forward by a person who looked like a thin scribe, and the middle-aged man was constantly complaining, although it was a low voice, but the voice was like a bell, with strong penetrating power.

The originally noisy voices present were all drowned out by this person's voice, and everyone looked at the two people who suddenly appeared with a huge difference in stature, and the thin man who was pulling the middle-aged man was constantly responding with a sentence: "You come with me." ”

A moment later, the two of them had already arrived in front of the main hall, and the thin man bowed to the city lord of Zhao and said, "My lord, the person has been brought." ”

City Lord Zhao nodded, waved his hand to retreat, and the thin man agreed, turned around and walked out of the gate. "Amitabha, you bastard, you brought me here, you didn't even apologize, you ran away first. "The prime of man airway.

Then he turned to look at City Lord Zhao, and his face changed to a bright smile: "Amitabha, Lord City Lord, may I ask you why you are looking for a little monk to come." ”

City Lord Zhao waved his hand, then looked at Xia Mu, and said, "It's not me looking for you, but this son is looking for you." ”

The middle-aged man turned his head to look at the summer curtain, looked up and down, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened. He is very good at kung fu, although he is also a supernatural person, but in front of the robbers who specialize in hunting supernatural powers outside the city of Ping'an, it is not enough to see, if it is not for the several times on the way to the bodyguard, with this kung fu repeatedly to avoid trouble, my Buddha dart bureau will really go to see my Buddha.

He saw that Xia Mu was extraordinary, and an indescribable nobility was hidden in it, and he secretly speculated in his heart that this must be the son of a powerful person from the imperial capital.

And Xia Mu also observed the middle-aged man while looking at him, "This person is far from being as simple as it seems. This is the evaluation that Xia Mu made in his heart when he met for the first time.

"I don't know what this son is looking for a little monk. The smile of the man in the prime of life became even brighter. Xia Mu said: "You come with me." After saying that, he turned and walked to the table, pointed to the scriptures on the table, and said, "Do you know what these verses mean?" ”

The middle-aged man walked forward quickly, saw the words on the table, was shocked, and muttered, "This... These scriptures turned out to be!" Seeing the middle-aged man's reaction, Xia Mu hurriedly asked, "Do you know what these words mean?" ”

The middle-aged man did not answer, but asked rhetorically, "Childe, where do these scriptures come from?" Xia Mu was silent for a moment, and then replied: "After a monk recites the Buddha's voice, I look at the words recorded by the remnants of his supernatural powers. ”

The middle-aged man touched his bare head, raised his head and laughed three times, and then clapped his hands and said: "Amitabha! The little monk is about to develop! This is the Buddha's sound scripture left by my true ancestor of Buddhism, and only the real Buddha can recite it in the Buddha's voice, and where the Buddha appears, it means that Buddhism there will be greatly flourished." The little monk should hurry up and prepare and become the abbot of this temple again. ”

Seeing that the middle-aged man did not answer his question, Xia Mu looked displeased and said in a deep voice: "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

When the middle-aged man saw Xia Mu's situation, he hurriedly confessed and said: "Amitabha, the little monk doesn't dare to tell you what this scripture means, but the little monk can summarize the meaning of this scripture in four words, that is, to stand after breaking." ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man closed his eyes and began to recite Buddhist scriptures in his mouth. Xia Mu saw that he couldn't ask anything from this person, so he gave up and said, "You go back." ”

The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard this, and when he was about to turn around and leave after saying goodbye to Xia Mu and City Lord Zhao, Xia Mu suddenly asked, "By the way, I don't know what your name is." ”

The middle-aged man replied: "The little monk's name is Yuantong. The common name is Qian Shunfeng. ”

Xia Mu nodded, waved his hand to signal the man to retreat, the man with the law name Yuantong silently recited a Buddha name, and walked outside the main hall without looking back, but Xia Mu and Zhao City Lord could faintly hear Yuantong's loud laughter in the hall, and couldn't help but be speechless.

After Yuantong left, Xia Mu's fingers lightly clasped the table, as if thinking about something, after a while. He walked out of the hall: "Let's go, today's highlight is not this. City Lord Zhao promised, and then followed.
