Chapter 1166: Mother Buddha
Chu Huan smiled bitterly: "In this way, the King of Xichang, who disappeared back then, hid here. He sighed, "From the bottom of my heart, this is really a great place to hide." Then he wondered: "Since you are hiding here, why are there so many bones killed in battle outside?" Don't...... Qin Jun finally found this hiding place? ”
Liuli shook her head and said, "Then I won't know anymore." I remember my father said that the Qin army attacked Shuoquan and fought for several months, although the Xichang army resisted to the death, but in the end it still could not withstand the strong attack of the Qin army...... Father also said that when Shuoquan was besieged, the commander of Xichang's soldiers and horses was Yun Dingtian, and when Shuoquan was about to fall, the king of Xichang even personally went to the city to boost morale...... After the Qin army conquered Shuoquan, in order not to let the king of Xichang escape, so the city gate was sealed, although it was a shortage of soldiers, but no one could go out at all, but the king of Xichang and many Xichang's civil and military generals, but there was no trace, they were like evaporating from the world, the Qin army spent energy, and it was difficult to find their traces. ”
"King Xichang doesn't see anyone alive or dead, and he doesn't see a corpse, and the saint is naturally not down-to-earth." Chu Huan sighed lightly.
The snake can't do it without a head, but if it gets rid of the leader, it may make a comeback at any time, and His Majesty the Emperor naturally does not allow such a thing to happen.
"In the five northwestern kingdoms that year, except for the king of Xichang and the prince of Lu, who escaped after breaking the city, the other princes were all captured by the Qin army." Liuli's voice was very soft, thinking back to the past, "After the prince of Lu escaped, he even made a comeback for a time, and once joined forces with the Western Tang Dynasty, which had not yet fallen, to prepare a counterattack on the Qin army, but unfortunately later the Western Tang Dynasty was unable to fight again, and the king of the Western Tang Dynasty went out of the city to throw, and the army of the prince of Lu was scattered again, and he could only retreat all the way to the west." Feng Han Xiaoqin led thousands of soldiers and horses to chase and kill all the way, and finally captured the prince of Lu State, and in accordance with the will of the saint, Ling Chi executed ......! Speaking of this, a trace of different color crossed Liuli's eyes, and his blue eyes were deep, Chu Huan didn't notice this flashing color, only to hear Liuli's gentle and soft voice continued: "The prince of Lu is about to die, and the only hidden danger in the northwest is the king of Xichang, who is difficult to find." ”
Chu Huanqi said: "In this way, to this day, the imperial court has never known that the king of Xichang is here?" ”
"If I knew, the bones of King Xichang would not have been preserved so completely." Liuli sighed faintly: "The battle here has been many years away from now...... Gongfu, in your opinion, what kind of situation will the fight in the stone room outside be? ”
Chu Huan said: "I always feel that since there is a stone gate that cannot be opened, it should be difficult for the enemy to attack it, if it is really the enemy who kills in...... Well, the remains of King Xichang are still not so complete. ”
Liuli nodded his head slightly and said: "What the grandfather said is very true, so Liuli thinks that there is indeed a tragic battle in this stone room, but ...... But it is not necessarily the enemy. ”
"Madame means ......!" Chu Huan was thoughtful, then his body shook and he understood, "Could it be ...... The subordinates of the king of Xichang, cannibalism? ”
Liuli sighed: "This can only be our guess, what is the situation, the past has been sealed for a long time, I'm afraid there is no one to tell us." ”
Chu Huan also sighed, and then frowned and asked, "Madam, is it just so that we can discover this dusty past by setting up a mechanism for us to fall into this grotto?" He was a little surprised: "If this is the case, Yao Weng must know the existence of this secret, so what does he have to do with King Xichang?" He has lived in the Medicine Valley for a long time, is he really studying medicinal materials here, or has he been guarding this secret under the cover of this? Staring at the glass, "What's even more strange is why Yao Weng wants to tell Madame Yu this secret now?" What does Madame have to do with this dusty secret? ”
Liuli shook her head, and her beautiful face was also dazed, "I don't know what happened to Yao Weng...... Did he just want me to know about the past? "I don't think it's reasonable, if Yao Weng is really here to guard this secret, then it must be extremely secret about this secret, and it is impossible to easily tell outsiders, but now he has to reveal it to Liuli, and Liuli seems to have nothing to do with Xichangguo, and everything becomes even more confusing.
Chu Huan was also puzzled in his heart, his eyes moved to the peacock opening picture on the wall, and finally asked, "Madame seems to know the origin of this painting." ”
When he asked this, his heart had already been raised, this peacock picture has always been an unsolvable mystery in Chu Huan's heart, involving a wide range of people, and he couldn't figure it out.
He was afraid that Liuli shook his head, so this secret would inevitably be doubted, but when he saw Liuli's eyes and his head slightly, Chu Huan pressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Madame really knows the origin of this picture." ”
Liuli thought for a while, she frowned at the willow eyebrows and thought about the expression, unusually beautiful, and soon, Liuli said: "Gongfu knows the Buddha Sect, so do you know that the Buddha Sect is divided into several sects?" ”
Chu Huan thought that this painting really had something to do with Buddhism, and said solemnly: "As far as I know, there are Zen Buddhism and Tantric Buddhism. ”
"What the grandfather said is right." Liuli said softly: "The people of Middle-earth do know that Buddhism is divided into Zen Buddhism and Tantra, and what is spread in Middle-earth is mainly Zen Buddhism, and Tantra first spread in the Northwest Land, but Tantra is far less influential than Zen Buddhism in Middle-earth...... After a pause, he asked, "Then do you know that there are other sects of Buddhism besides Zen Buddhism and Tantra?" ”
Chu Huan was silent for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Madame, is it saying that in addition to Zen Buddhism and Tantra, there are other sects of Buddhism?" ”
Liuli nodded and said: "Exactly, it's just that another sect has never spread to Middle-earth, so the people of the Central Plains know very little, even the people of Buddhism, they may not know." ”
"Please ask Madame for advice!"
"Great Heart Sect!" Liuli said slowly: "Gong Fu doesn't know, in addition to the Great Zen Sect and the Great Tantric Sect, the other branch of the Buddha Sect is the Great Heart Sect created by the Great Polo Layman!" ”
Chu Huan sighed secretly in his heart, how can I not only have the Great Heart Sect, if I really want to talk about it, the ghost master is a disciple of the Great Heart Sect, and he and the ghost master have the status of master and apprentice, then they can be regarded as a person of the Great Heart Sect.
"Although the Great Heart Sect is little known in the Central Plains, it has many believers in the Western Regions......!" Liuli thought for a moment and said slowly: "Zen Buddhism first had believers in the Central Plains, followed by Tantra, but the teachings of the Great Heart Sect are different from the teachings of Zen Buddhism and Tantra, since the Central Plains has been occupied by Zen Buddhism and Tantra, the Heart Sect has not spread to the east. ”
"The doctrine is different?"
Liuli sighed: "Actually, this is what I know from my father, I don't know very much, but I know that the Great Heart Sect is much more mysterious than the Zen and Tantric Sects, and the Heart Sect is based on the protection of the Dharma, and the protection of the law is based on cultivation......!" Slightly frowning willow eyebrows said: "Liuli doesn't know too much, but as far as I know, after the Heart Sect has many believers in the Western Regions, because the Western Liang has not blocked the trade routes back then, and there is still trade between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, so the merchants of the Western Regions have also begun to spread the teachings of the Great Heart Sect to the East......!" ”
"But the people of the Central Plains have hardly heard of the existence of the Great Heart Sect, did they not introduce it to Middle-earth at all?" Chu Huan asked.
"The spread of Buddhism to the east is a very difficult thing, not to mention that the teachings of Zen Buddhism taught earlier have been accepted by people on the way east, and it is not easy to spread a new teaching." Liuli shook his head and sighed lightly: "The purpose of those merchants is not to teach the Dharma, but to do business, so although many years ago, the teachings of the Great Heart Sect were brought to the east by the merchants, but few people can accept the Great Heart Sect, until later the Great Heart Sect sent disciples to follow the caravan to spread the Dharma, and gradually developed believers to the east, according to my father, the Buddhists of the Great Heart Sect were about to step into Middle-earth to preach the Dharma, but when they worked hard for a long time to spread the Buddhism of the Heart Sect to the territory of Xiliang, at that time, Xiliang had become the most powerful country in the west, And they also blocked the trade routes between the Western Regions and Middle-earth, and at the same time, they also prevented the Heart Sect from continuing to advance eastward......! ”
Chu Huan suddenly realized and understood, "Madame is saying that the footprints of the Dharma transmission of the Buddhists of the Great Heart Sect came to an abrupt end when they arrived in Xiliang?" ”
Liuli nodded and said, "Father said this back then, it should be like this." Father said that there should be many believers of the Heart Sect in Xiliang, but Qin State and Xiliang have always been at odds, and they both know little about each other, and now there are many believers in the Heart Sect in Xiliang, no one knows. His gaze finally turned to the peacock opening picture, and he said softly: "And this peacock picture is the god of the Heart Sect!" ”
"Gods?"
Liuli nodded and said, "Does the princess know the Great Peacock King?" ”
Chu Huan touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "I seem to have heard of it, but I don't know much about Buddhism, so I don't know much about it." ”
"The Great Peacock King, also known as the Mother of the Buddha." Liuli stared at the peacock picture and said solemnly: "It is rumored that when the Buddha Shakyamuni traveled to the Great Snow Mountain, he was swallowed by the peacock with his mouth open and swallowed his golden body into his abdomen. Later, Sakyamuni thought of this, there was a grudge in his heart, and he had a killing intent, and after the Bodhisattvas knew, they immediately persuaded that the peacock's parents were phoenixes, earlier than the Buddha of Sakyamuni, and the peacock had the same golden-winged Dapeng bird, which was also the supreme mana, and the Bodhisattvas persuaded Sakyamuni that he came out of the peacock's body and hurt his body like his mother. ”
Chu Huan knew that there was such an allusion, and said with his head bowed: "Madam means that the one worshiped by the Great Heart Sect is this Great Peacock King Bodhisattva?" ”
Liuli nodded and said, "Exactly." The Great Polo Monk created the Great Heart Sect, which is said to have been enlightened by the Great Peacock King Bodhisattva, and all kinds of magical powers are also taught by the Great Peacock King Bodhisattva, so the Great Heart Sect has been worshiping is the Buddha Mother Peacock King! ”
