Chapter 109: Bloody Mandala
"They're tantra!" Bu Yunfei said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Buddhism flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and there were many sects. Among them, the most prosperous is Zen Buddhism, and the most mysterious is Tantra!
The founder of Tantra is Nagarjuna. The so-called tantra is relative to the sutras. According to Tantra, Sutra is Shakya's statement to ordinary ordinary people, and Tantra is the Dharmakaya Buddha, that is, the secret Dafa that Dari Nyorai said to his dependents, that is, the secret mantra, which is not passed on, so Tantra claims that they teach the secret mantra of the Buddha, which is more authentic and authoritative than other sects of Buddhism. Because it is a secret mantra, the Mystery Sect acts extremely secretively, and it is difficult for outsiders to see it.
However, the de facto Tantra is not as noble as they claim. While most of the other sects of Buddhism talk about self-cultivation, Tantra emphasizes healing illnesses and wounds, killing revenge, and praying for rain to ward off evil spirits. Tantra in the Tang Dynasty was mixed with a large number of witchcraft spells. The practice of these witchcraft requires rituals, and the rituals of Tantra are extremely eerie and terrifying, which is very different from the ordinary pure practice of Buddhism.
What's even more incredible is that Tantra pays attention to self-harm to the Buddha, and people who join the religion, in order to express their piety, have to cut off a part of their body and offer it to the great day of Rulai, limbs, facial features, skin and flesh, and so on. Therefore, most tantric practitioners are incomplete, and the more mutilated their bodies are, the more they will be revered by the congregation.
In fact, Tantra is the result of the alienation of Buddhism and witchcraft, and it has little influence in the upper strata of society, but there are many followers at the lower strata of society, especially among the poor people. In particular, the witchcraft of dispelling illness and healing, killing revenge and revenge that Tantra believes in has a strong attraction to the vast number of poor people, and lawless people are even more eager to do so, hoping to eliminate the enemy invisibly.
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Tantra had already been introduced to China, but it has not been a climate, mainly because of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Tantra is a religion that believes in the end times, and when a society is thriving, there is no market for this kind of end-time religion. However, in the Tianbao period, Tantra began to flourish among the people, and the number of followers increased day by day. This is actually a signal that Datang has turned from prosperity to decline.
It's a pity that the rulers of the Tang Dynasty didn't perceive this signal!
Tonight, at the Treasure Wheel Temple, there is a vengeance witchcraft ritual known as the "Bloody Mandala"!
The esoteric cultists smeared their blood on the body of the enemy's double, and then, with the stench of red and black petals, and the dung of the animals, burned him to ashes, and cursed him for a good death!
According to the tantric mandala method, the more powerful the enemy, the more human blood and all kinds of filth are used. Tonight, these tantric believers used the blood of dozens of people to turn the entire straw man into a blood cell, supplemented by a large amount of red flowers, black flowers, and livestock dung, which shows that the person they want to curse is extremely powerful, and must not be an ordinary person, this person must have great power and energy.
Bu Yunfei understands the Buddhist sects of the Tang Dynasty, although he has never seen the real Tantra, but judging from the image and demeanor of this group of monks, the Eight Achievements are Tantra!
Bu Yunfei recognized Tantra and felt a chill in his heart.
I thought that it was just a misunderstanding to meet Zhang Tongyou's gang, even if there was anything inconvenient about Zhang Tongyou's gang, there was no enmity between the two sides in the past and no grievances in the near future, as long as everyone was calm, they could talk about it. Where did I think that I would have witnessed the tantric mandala of killing revenge and witchcraft.
The mandala is the secret of Tantra and the ultimate Dharma of Tantra, which is not only difficult for outsiders to see, but also for people in the same sect, and if they do not have a certain status level, they cannot observe it on the spot. Tonight, this group of Mystery Sect monks acted in front of them, but they didn't intend to let them leave alive!
So far, only a dead horse is a live horse doctor!
For Tantra, Bu Yunfei has some understanding, but it is not in-depth, but one thing he knows, the secret of Tantra lies in the fact that the dragon sees the head and does not see the tail, its sect is up and down, left and right, not subordinate to each other, each Dharma Throne Master has its own system, and there is a set of extremely strict confidentiality rules, the people in the sect, with the so-called Tantric mantra recognize each other, but each other must not ask about their whereabouts, and the disciples must not forget to say the Master on the throne, otherwise it is disrespectful!
Tantra acts in this way, claiming to be adhering to the secret words of the Buddha and secretly transmitting the Dharma. In fact, the real reason is that the Tang Dynasty listed Tantra as an evil demon, and once the traces of Tantra were found, it would be severely suppressed, and the general disciples would be punished with exile, and once the mage on the throne was captured, it would be beheaded to show the public. Therefore, in order to protect the Master, the disciples are not allowed to reveal the name of the Master on the throne, let alone the whereabouts of the Master.
This made Bu Yunfei take advantage of a loophole.
Historical records record that there are tantric verses, Bu Yunfei died to the end, and he couldn't take care of a lot, so he took out a few verses of verses, but I didn't expect that it really worked, and it was indeed a tantric mantra. When he heard Bu Yunfei say the truth, he didn't dare to act rashly. However, what Bu Yunfei knows is limited to this.
Bu Yunfei only knows a little bit about Tantra, and he knows that if he says too much, he will lose. What's more, he didn't know anything about the tantric throne master. Therefore, Bu Yunfei simply came to a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, no matter how persecuted by the calamity, he would follow the rules of the sect and keep silent. Bu Yunfei is so tough, the more he dares to attack Bu Yunfei, for fear of harming the people in the same sect, and the mandala is originally an extremely confidential matter, and ordinary disciples in the sect are not allowed to watch, but Bu Yunfei appeared in this Baolun Temple at this time, and if he can't get it, he is still a very high-level figure in Tantra.
However, Zhang Tongyou is extremely shrewd, Bu Yunfei can say that he can move the robbery wave, but he can't say that Zhang Tongyou can't move. Zhang Tongyou decided that Bu Yunfei was a fake tantric disciple, and he had to get rid of him quickly. Fortunately, Zaibo's mind didn't turn around, otherwise, Bu Yunfei would have been cut into pieces and thrown into the incense burner by now.
Thinking of that Tongyu, Bu Yunfei's heart was full of doubts.
Tantra is generally popular among the people at the bottom, and most of those who believe in Tantra are the poor people at the bottom who have no way out. And Zhang Tongyou, judging from his outfit, is a rich kid, and he has a generous shot, with two boxes of silver, not to mention 5,000 taels.
What makes Yunfei even more puzzled is that Tantra's tricks are all to deceive the world and steal fame, and a discerning person knows that it is useless at a glance, so it is generally difficult for Tantra to fool readers. And that Tongyou's brain is not confused, judging from the speech and demeanor of the meeting, this kid is extremely shrewd, thoughtful, decisive, and even a little dark-bellied. But this kid even believes in the boundless things of Tantra.
However, looking at Zhang Tongyou's appearance before leaving, he seemed to be a little jealous of the group of Tantric believers who were robbing the waves, and he didn't fully trust them, and he was even a little afraid. For the sake of safety, he took all the entourage here away, which at least shows that Zhang Tongyou is most worried about not the four brothers Bu Yunfei, but the group of tantric believers who rob Bo.
Baye Gu Urn said angrily: "Big brother, it's useless to talk about that nonsense, while they are not there, let's hurry up and think about going out!" ”
Bu Yunfei was also very anxious in his heart. Just now, they were lucky enough to fool the robbery, and this group of people went to find that Bukong mage, who must be one of the mages on the tantric throne, and they could immediately find that Bu Yunfei was full of nonsense. When the time comes, everyone will still be unable to escape death!
"What do you think?" Fang Ruoxu cried: "Everyone is tied up to death!" ”
Now, although there are no guards in the main hall, everyone has two ropes tied to them, and everyone is helpless.
was anxious, and suddenly saw a thin black shadow enter the side hall.
The man walked quickly to Bu Yunfei's side, looked behind him, his movements twisted, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.
Bu Yunfei smiled: "It turned out to be a little brother, don't come unharmed?" ”
The person who came was the little girl who was dressed as a man in the alley outside Baolun Temple and pointed a sword at Bu Yunfei's throat.
The little girl was still wearing a men's dress, looking at Bu Yunfei, wanting to speak and stopping, looking a little flustered.
Baye Gu Urn drank angrily: "The people of the Tang Dynasty are not as trustworthy as me, a person from the Western Regions!" "Baye Gu is angry, if it weren't for this little girl's vow, he wouldn't let go of Zhang Tongyou so easily and fell to this point.
The little girl's face flushed, and she said in a loud voice: "Who has no faith in his words!" I'm here to release you. Since you think I'm not true to my word, forget it! With that, he turned and left.
Bu Yunfei hurriedly said: "This little brother, my brother spoke abruptly, please forgive me!" Actually, just now in the alley, I knew that the little brother is an absolutely trustworthy person, and now that the situation has developed to this point, it has nothing to do with the little brother, na, it's all the same ......."
"It's not about Brother You!" The little girl blushed and drank.
Bu Yunfei smiled bitterly in his heart, this matter, in the final analysis, was all about Zhang Tongyu, but it was inconvenient to say it, so he had to say: "What the little brother said is also true, that Zhang Gongzi must have something unspeakable." ”
"What little brother, little brother! It's hard to hear! The little girl drank: "My name is Yan Quanying, na, you can call me...... Call me Brother Quanying! ”
"But you're obviously younger than me!" Bu Yunfei smiled secretly, this little girl was not deeply involved in the world, and she looked innocent, until now, she thought that others didn't see that she was a woman dressed as a man.
"Men call each other brothers, this is an honorific title!" Yan Quanying said seriously: "Oh, by the way, what should I call you?" ”
"My name is Bu Yunfei." Bu Yunfei said: "These people, one Fang Ruoxu, one Baye Gu, and one Song Wuyang. ”
"It turned out to be Brother Yunfei!" Yan Quanying arched her hand, and in a panic, her movements seemed to be saying Wanfu: "Just now, Brother Tongyou offended your big brothers, and there is a reason for it, please forgive me for the offense." Little brother, let you go, but there is one condition! These few words, chewing words, are difficult enough for this little girl.
