Chapter 37: Relics

Miaoxiang auspiciously, Nanli's big thunder sound platform. The implication is that Master Wuyu wants to unify the Nanli Buddha Sect!

Song Yang still couldn't understand Mrs. Shi's words, not because she didn't understand enough, but because she ...... This cowhide is a little too big.

Who is Swallow Top? When he was a teenager, he suffered a tragedy, but he was blessed by misfortune, and he entered the world's first-class Qimen, and he himself was a genius, but in more than ten years, he became the first person in the world to use drugs, the first person in the world to use martial arts, and the first person in the world. And his background is inextricably linked with the Great Yan royal family, and the Yan Dynasty poured the power of the whole country to help him, which led to the later Great Lei Yintai and the most mysterious Yan Guoshi in Middle Earth.

As soon as the upper and lower lips of the fishless master touched, he was going to get up and chase the achievements of the swallow top? Even if she is now prestigious and has a lot of influence among Nanli Buddhism, it is still too ambitious to want to control all the Nanli Buddhism Sect by herself.

Song Yang was speechless for a while before he spoke euphemistically: "Master, your current situation is not the same as Aoki's. The most important thing is that the fake has the full support of the swallow behind it. ”

Wuyu showed interest in this topic, gestured, and motioned for Song Yang to continue.

"Aoki pretended to be Mrs. Shi and helped King Jing snatch the dragon chair, and then King Jing would probably give her the title of 'Protector of the Country'......" This is the conclusion that has been discussed with Lord Hu a long time ago, ** If you don't leave ten, you shouldn't be wrong. And after that, needless to say, the government and monarchy, King Jing is the puppet of the national teacher, and to put it mildly, Ren Yao, an old man of sixty or seventy years old, has become an emperor. Yan is his father, Emperor Yan and Jingtai are his fathers.

As for the theocratic aspect, Aoki will help the national teacher preside, and here are two results:

Most ideally, Aoki used the prestige of Wuyu and the support of King Jing to twist the Nanli Buddhist Sect into a rope and turn it into a strong force, just like the current appearance of the Yan Kingdom. However, the Nanli Buddhists have been scattered for many years, and they are much purer than the monks of Yan Kingdom, and it is difficult for them to truly surrender and always obey orders faithfully; The second outcome is the second best thing. The land is bounded and Buddhism is boundless, and it is not uncommon for the monks of Yan Kingdom to come to the south to believe in the scriptures. A large number of high-ranking monks of Yanguo came to Nanli in accordance with the decree of Yanding, and directly created a new situation for Aoki. Anyway, Nanli's Buddhists are a plate of loose sand, and since they can't be condensed, they won't waste their efforts, so if there is anything, the senior monks of Dayan will do it for them...... Song Yang himself estimated that the first of these two scenarios is almost impossible to achieve; However, the second result is that the possibility of success is very great.

Song Yang said very carefully.

His analysis was all pouring cold water on Wuyu, but Wuyu nodded with a smile: "It's good that young people can have such insight, no wonder they were appreciated by Fenglong at a young age and named Changchunhou." After speaking, she continued the previous topic: "Then you can help me think about it, if I want to build a wonderful auspicious place, how should I act?" ”

Song Yang was deflated, all those words just now were in vain... He hasn't been in contact with Wuyu for a long time, but no matter how you look at it, he doesn't think that this teacher looks like he lacks a heart, but she just can't finish pretentiously on this matter.

Wuyu is an elder, a companion, a comrade-in-arms, and a person whom Shi Xiaoxiao admires, Song Yang is not good at perfunctory her, but still responds seriously: "If Mrs. Shi wants to succeed, she must have the help of the imperial court; But the support of the imperial court is far from enough, hundreds of years, from the former dynasty to the current Nanli monarchs have not interfered in the affairs of the Buddhist family, and now if you want to be strong, I am afraid that it will backfire, at least, the master has to have a situation of his own first, and the court can add strength. This situation does not refer to your old and present prestige, I mean to truly support and surrender to ......"

Song Yang's meaning couldn't be clearer, Wuyu has a good reputation and is now popular, and it is not difficult for Nanli monk to help him do something with his enthusiasm, but he really wants many famous temple abbots and virtuous monks to stand up and announce that he supports Wuyu as a 'holy master', and thinks that she is a Buddha according to her decree.

After finishing speaking, Song Yang added: "Don't misunderstand, I wish it could be done, but I have to tell the truth." ”

Wuyu gestured to understand, and said with a smile: "Do you know that in ancient times, there were also people like swallows... And there were two at once. ”

Song Yang blinked his eyes, the topic changed too abruptly, and he was a little unclear for a while, so Wuyu continued: "There are two top characters among the Nanli Buddhists, and their Dharma names will not be mentioned, let's call them a cat and a dog." Superb Buddhism, brilliant mind, sharp means... A cat and a dog are all very good, there will not be a real genius for hundreds of years, two were born at once three hundred years ago, but both of them have great ambitions, and they both want to unify the Nanli Buddhist family. ”

"A cat is named a holy monk by believers, a dog is a fan as the reincarnation of an Arhat, and then the power of the two is getting bigger and bigger, and they begin to dump each other, from the secret fight to the open fight, the two are equal in intelligence, the means are equal, no one can help anyone, today you win, tomorrow I won, this fight is decades, at that time there was no Nanli country, the entire southwest of the Buddhism almost all involved, should be quiet and peaceful outside the world of the pure land was stirred up by the two of the miasma, and the underworld, the rivers and lakes are not necessarily any different... Of course, this is what I said, and the believers at that time and in the world didn't think much of it, so the people involved felt that they were defending the Dharma and sacrificing their lives and forgetting to die. ”

"Although a cat and a dog live in the world, but the age is still different after all, a cat is twenty years older than a dog, the two of them fight in the dark, but after all, they can't fight the sky, a cat didn't lose, but it's too old to be good... Ninety years old, the number of years of life is close to death, it is impossible not to lose, before he died, he came alone to the base camp of a dog, Bodhi Zen Temple. Before he died, the cat wanted to see the dog. ”

Ah Gou has already won the game, but he understands that Ah Mao lost to the sky, not to him. Ah Gou is not very happy, but he really admires Ah Mao, and his natural rival and lifelong enemy came to him before dying, how can it not be a respect. Ignoring the dissuasion of his disciples, Ah Gou personally greeted him and took Ah Mao into the Zen monastery. ”

In the next three days, a cat and a dog talked about the scriptures and the Tao, talked about the Buddha, and then there was no dispute just to express their opinions, you must know that the two of them are great virtues in the world, each has wonderful insights, and they are very happy under the conversation, when the monks of the Bodhi Monastery can often see the two old monks talking about the rise, they will laugh happily and dance with their hands...... In the early morning of the fourth day, the cat's spirit began to languish and fatigue, and the limit was no longer alive, so the dog stayed in front of him and sighed gloomily: "If you can, I would like to share your ten years of life, and you and I will fight for another ten years, and then join hands to achieve bliss together, wouldn't it be happy." ”

A cat disdainfully: "Can you be sure that you will live as long as I do, and live to live for 90 years?" ”

Ah Gou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed; The cat continued: "You and I have been fighting for decades, you should be content! ”

Ah Gou was stunned again: "Fighting is fighting, what is 'multi-fighting'?" ”

"You're not as good as mine." A cat's voice was weak: "It's not that you learn your mind, but... Division. ”

A cat was born in a famous ancient temple, and A dog grew up in a wild temple, and the two are very far apart from each other. But when Ah Mao said this, Ah Gou smiled and shook his head: "You have the teachings of the master and the opinions of your predecessors to practice, but I rely on my own exploration and enlightenment, and in the end, you and I are on equal footing, so I am still smarter than you." ”

Ah Mao was very tired, and no longer argued anything, but smiled hard: "I have a gift for you, and it will be delivered after a while...... I've been fighting with you for half my life, and I'm so happy... I don't regret it... Let's not talk about it yet, go out and don't disturb my sleep. ”

Soon the cat fell into a deep sleep and never woke up.

Ah Gou treated him with the courtesy of his fellow brothers, and convened his disciples to do great things, and Ah Mao's disciples wanted to come and participate in all accommodations, and ten days after Ah Mao's death, the gift he left to Ah Gou was finally delivered to the Bodhi Monastery, which was a land deed.

A dog fox was puzzled, found the place where the title deed was, and what surprised him even more was that it was a pond at the foot of Jing'er Gang, a famous mountain in Nanli Buddhism, the area was not large, adding up to only three acres of water, he circled the pond for a while, and he couldn't see anything on the surface, so he simply took off his clothes and went into the water and dived down to see.

As soon as he entered the water, he was surprised to find that the water in the pond was extremely cold.

There is a cold deep pool in the cave in the middle of Jing'ergang Mountain, which is very famous among the Nanli Buddhist sects. Needless to say, the pond is connected to the cold water veins in the mountains. Ah Gou knew that the title deed left to him by Ah Mao must have a deep meaning, and he gritted his teeth and swam in the cold water, but fortunately he was also a master himself, so he could barely hold on, if ordinary people got out of the water, they would be frozen.

The pond is very small, a dog dived into the bottom of the water soon found the abnormality, the pond mud bottom is in the middle, actually sat on a large tank, to the mouth of the tank to see, there is a small cyan tower, is fixed at the bottom of the tank by iron chains.

When he saw the little tower, Ah Gou only felt a muffled buzz in his head, and almost immediately understood the meaning of what Ah Mao said before his death, 'The teachers are different, and they have fought for decades...... Nanli is dyed by the incense of Buddha, Zen Buddhism has flourished for thousands of years, there have been many holy monks and living Buddhas before and after, and there are countless celebrities, but to talk about the most famous one, it is not a cat and a dog, not a fishless teacher, but a high monk called the bottle in ancient times.

During the lecture, the golden dragon appeared, the heavenly light appeared in the saying, and the white lotus was undefeated in practice...... There are countless legends about the bottle top, and when he passed away, it was said that he was truly incarnate and won the lotus throne to break through the sky, and it was only then that the world knew that he was the reincarnation of the Buddha's personal disciple and His Holiness Upa Eli.

Hearing this, Song Yang wanted to laugh again, but Master Wuyu simply laughed: "It's indeed a little bizarre, but it's not the most bizarre." ”

After the death of the bottle, his disciple opened the last words, it turned out that the master had already learned his true body before his death, and all the reincarnations in the previous life and this life were broken by him, and even after his death, he would leave a relic bone.

The decree clearly states that the disciples will be ordered to seal the relics bones with the green pagoda and sink them into the ice pool of the Jing'ergang Cave, and one day the Venerable Youbo Eli will re-enter the reincarnation and return to the world, and he will retrieve his relics at that time.

The disciple obeyed the decree of the master, invited countless monks in Nanli to learn from it, put the relics into the small pagoda, and then sank the Qingkong relics pagoda into the cold pool of Jing'er Gang.

The most important thing is that this legend is full of details, and the descriptions of the cyan pagoda and the top relics are detailed and abnormal, and they cannot be imitated at all...... At that time, Ah Dog was surprised when he saw the cyan pagoda, took out the green pagoda from the tank, returned to the ground and opened it, and sure enough, there was a parietal bone relic placed in it, which was smooth and round, like a pearl.

Whether it is a pagoda or a relic bead, they are the same as in the legend.

Hearing this, Song Yangmao suddenly opened, and the dog three hundred years ago also suddenly realized.

He may indeed be a high monk, but his stories of spitting lotus flowers and the reincarnation of His Holiness are all made up. The important thing is not the person of the bottle, but the legend: whoever can take out the blue sky relics stupa from the cold pool is the reincarnation of the Venerable Youbo Eli under the Buddha's throne.

As for the fabricator of the legend of the bottle, it is the master of Ah Mao.

Perhaps the senior monks had foreseen that there would be disputes and troubles in the Nanli Buddhism Gate in later generations; Perhaps he is worried that in the future, there will be demons in Buddhism, and believers will be deceived to do evil deeds. Therefore, the predecessors of the cat's master, weaving legends, set up such a deception, and passed on from generation to generation, one day there is a civil strife in Buddhism, his disciples only need to go to the pond to take out the Qingkong Relic Pagoda, and then invite the monks to testify, hide the treasure into the deep pool to swim around, and then he will go ashore, it is the reincarnation of the Venerable.

His Holiness returned to the world, and the disciples of Nanli returned to their hearts, and no matter what kind of disputes there were at that time, they could be easily resolved by him, and the situation was naturally calm.

For this matter, the hard work spent by Ah Mao's seniors is simply incalculable. It is not difficult to concoct a legend, but it is by no means easy to make this ethereal legend become a deep-rooted 'impression' in the hearts of Nanli Buddhists. The relics stupa is raised under the water vein of Jing'er Gang, it is also a good intention, the legendary relics stupa is hidden in the cold pool, after countless years, from the green pagoda to the relics are encroaching on the water color full of cold, it has to be so, it will not attract suspicion when taking it in the future.

Looking at the blue sky relics pagoda in his hand, Ah Gou suddenly smiled, not happy and proud, but self-deprecating... When fighting with a cat, he also tried to use this legend to find or forge this treasure to win over believers, but he had to give up because of the high difficulty, he really didn't expect that the relics pagoda had always been in the hands of a cat.

Thinking about it the other way around, if Ah Mao was willing to use the Blue Sky Relic Pagoda, Ah Dog would have been defeated a long time ago, how could there be decades of entanglement and hard fighting... The reason why he never used the treasure is unknown, it may be that Ah Mao feels that the current situation is not worth wasting this treasure; may be for his own selfishness to live up to his teacher's painstaking efforts, making him feel ashamed; It may also be that the cat is not seeking to win and is aggressive, and the feeling of meeting the opponent in chess makes him want to stop, and he does not want to rely on external forces or end the 'chess game'.

Ah Dog himself is more inclined to the last statement. For decades, he was always seeking victory, racking his brains to deal with his fierce opponents, until the cat died of old age, and he won, but he was not happy at all, of course, he was not too sad, he was not happy or angry, but he felt that the world was suddenly vast, and he became small...... Empty, nowhere to rely on, not lonely, but a little lonely.

The game is over.

The cat didn't cheat, but he really let the dog.

A dog puts himself in his shoes, if he is a cat, he should do the same.

The reluctant chess game is finally over, without an opponent, ambition seems to have lost its bearing, there is a world in front of him, but Ah Gou can't be interested in what to do...... If he had a choice, he would rather the cat still mumble curses to him before he died, and he would rather the cat never went to his Bodhi Monastery before he died.

So he changed the name of the temple, and the Bodhi Monastery changed its name to Don't come to the Monastery.

Ah Gou put the Qingkong Relic Stupa back in place, then returned to the Zen monastery, put down everything, quietly made in the Buddha Hall, three years later the old monk smiled, did not explain to anyone, got up and left the Zen Monastery, and then disappeared.

After the cat and dog were finished, Song Yang's eyes were shining, and he stared at Shitai tightly: "Don't come to the Zen Academy?" ”

Wuyu smiled: "Yes, don't come to the Zen Academy." Ah Dog is my ancestor. ”

Song Yang's expression became a little nervous: "That Qingkong Relic Pagoda ......"

Wuyu nodded, his smile unchanged: "I know where it is, and I also know that the legend about the reincarnation of the Venerable is still circulating among the disciples of Nanli Buddhism, and it is very heavy...... If not, why do you think Yanding would find me? Why is Aoki reluctant to kill me? With the thin name of no fish, how useful can it be to pretend to be? In the final analysis, it's not for the sake of the Blue Sky Relic Stupa. ”

Shi Tai paused for a moment, and then continued: "There is also the underground palace of the Zen Academy, and the qi path is far away, because the underground palace was originally a 'place of refuge', and Ah Gou was afraid that Ah Mao would kill him, so he picked up a dungeon for himself, but the access mechanism was changed by Aoki, and this became what it was later." ”

Song Yang didn't care about the dungeon, and chased after the previous topic and said: "You always know the whereabouts of the treasure relics pagoda, it is a top secret thing, how can Yanding know?" ”

Wuyu shook his head slowly: "I don't know where he found out, but it's not important... The important thing is that he wants to take this tower and want all the Nanli Buddhas to use for him, how can I let him do it. The disciples of Buddhism are compassionate and have no quarrel with the world, but when the evil demons are born, the way of eliminating demons is also the true nature of my generation. This is also the original intention of the predecessors of the cat division to do this game. ”

Song Yang's interest increased sharply when he heard this: "Mrs. Shi, this is going to... Going to use that treasure? ”

"Yanding does evil things in the name of my Buddha, and he should be the enemy of the Buddhas in the world. And the evil demon is powerful, Nanli's Buddhist disciples are just a plate of scattered sand, if they can't work together, how to protect the Dharma and eliminate the demons, the Qingkong Relic Pagoda has been silent for thousands of years, it's time to wake it up. Wuyu sat up straight: "It won't be long before the reincarnated Venerable will return to the world, Miaoxiang is auspiciously his place of practice, I chose your fiefdom because you have a deep hatred with Yanding." ”
