Li Canghai smiled and said, "Since the two masters have said it, it will be disrespectful to the next one." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

When the old host heard this, his heart suddenly rejoiced, and he hurriedly asked the little novice next to him to fetch the five-leaf dates, and then handed them over to Li Canghai's accompanying guards.

A few people ate tea and discussed scriptures in the meditation room, and soon it was noon.

"Lord, the hour has come, please come with the old man." The old host stood up slowly, and said with a Zen cane.

"Master, please!" Li Canghai nodded slightly, and then followed the old host and others to the scripture altar.

The altar is located on the right side of the temple, which is the place where Master Jianzhen gave lectures in the year, and all previous uncovered conferences have been held here.

When Li Canghai and others arrived, the vicinity of the altar was already full of monks and people.

The uncovered conference is a fasting meeting of Buddhism to make good connections, and it has always been presided over by a highly respected monk, only because the old monk Zhikong is older, and it is in this way that the host has been replaced by a monk from Tianzhu.

Stepping up to the altar in unison, they first recited the scriptures, and then they transcended the deceased and prayed for the living, and everyone was extremely pious.

Li Canghai also folded his hands and followed everyone to recite Buddhist scriptures.

This crusade made him realize the cruelty of war, and also saw betrayal and loyalty.

What touched him the most was that both the Tang Dynasty sergeants and the Silla sergeants did not flinch when facing the Dongying Japanese Invaders.

Those who are loyal deserve to be rewarded. And those who betray will be punished severely!

The chanting lasted for about an hour, after which it was consecrated for the Great Buddha of Baoguo Temple.

This big Buddha was damaged by the war, and after this reconstruction, it has been completely renewed.

Consecrating the Buddha is a very solemn thing, and no one except the monks is allowed to step into the hall.

Li Canghai and others are not among them.

Walking into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, you can see the Buddha sitting on the lotus platform, which makes people involuntarily give birth to a sense of respect.

The consecration was still presided over by Qi Xin, and the old monk Zhikong accompanied Li Canghai.

Qi led the monks to walk around the Buddha three times, and then stopped in front of the Buddha to recite the scriptures.

Li Canghai and the others stood on the left side of the main hall, quietly watching Qixin consecrate the Buddha.

The whole process lasted for another half an hour before it really stepped into the steps of consecrating the Buddha.

I saw Qi Xin holding a net bottle in his hand, with willow branches inserted in the bottle, and walked towards Li Canghai.

"Master Li, you are the life-saving benefactor of the people of the whole city, with great compassion, it is up to you to open the light!" He recited the Buddha's name in unison and said respectfully.

Li Canghai was slightly stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Master, this can't be helped." I don't understand Buddhism, and my hands are full of blood, how dare I consecrate a sacred Buddha statue? It's really torturing for me! ”

"Amitabha, the prince, the old man and so on let the prince come this time, just to let the prince personally open the light. The prince is a compassionate person, if it weren't for the prince's presence, Jincheng would have been ruined. You are the benefactor of Silla, if you can be consecrated by the prince himself, for the people of Jincheng, you can also let them regain their confidence in survival! Don't shirk the king! The old host said tremblingly.

Fear of the name also nodded, and said: "Nan Wu Bao Bun is like a Buddha, what the host said is reasonable." At the beginning of the war in Silla, the people's hearts were unstable, and the donor was the backbone of all the people, and it was also a comfort to the people to be able to be enlightened by the donor himself. ”

"It's ......." Li Canghai hesitated for a moment, he was not proficient in Buddhism, but what a few people said, he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

After all, he is now the regent of the kingdom of Silla.

In a sense, he was the lord of Silla before the appointment of a new king.

And the people of Silla are his people.

After thinking about it, Li Canghai nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I might as well be respectful." ”

The old host's face suddenly showed a look of joy, but the faces of Qi Xin and Fear of Fame were a little more unnatural.

Since the consecration is a solemn thing, everyone is lined up on both sides, and after Li Canghai took the net bottle from Qi Xin's hand, he walked towards the Buddha statue.

There is a table in front of the Buddha statue, and several Buddhist instruments are placed on the table.

Coming to the table, Li Canghai looked back at Qi Xin, whose expression was unnatural, and said suspiciously: "Master, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Qi Xin shook his head and said, "It's nothing." Why did the donor stop? ”

Li Canghai smiled and said, "Master, it's not a secret, I don't know much about Buddhism, so I don't know anything about what to do next!" ”

"The prince only needs to surround the Buddha statue, sprinkle it three times with the nectar of the net bottle, and then knock on the wooden fish." The old host said with difficulty.

Li Canghai nodded, and then according to what the old host said, he held the net bottle in his left hand and threw it with a willow branch dipped in water with his right hand.

After three times, Li Canghai put down the net bottle, then picked up the mallet and knocked it on the wooden fish the size of a human head on the table.

With a bang, the ethereal sound of wooden fish percussion suddenly spread throughout the entire Daxiong Treasure Hall.

As Li Canghai struck the wooden fish, the two monks knocked on the bronze bell on the right side of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Bang~

A muffled sound that shook people's hearts came out, reverberating in the main hall, constantly stirring.

At this moment, the bamboo curtain hanging outside the door of the Daxiong Hall suddenly fell, several windows were also covered by the bamboo curtain, and the ever-bright lamp in front of the Buddha was also blown out by a strong wind, and the entire hall fell into darkness in an instant.

Almost the moment the entire hall fell into darkness, a muffled snort suddenly sounded, and everyone in the hall suddenly fell into a panic.

Unable to identify the direction in the dark, Di Qing could only rely on her own hearing to identify Li Canghai's location, and she shouted anxiously: "Canghai, are you okay?" ”

The guards outside the door heard the chaos inside, and hurriedly lifted the bamboo curtain, and the light in the hall was restored again, but what they saw made everyone even more panicked.

I saw Li Canghai, who was originally knocking on the wooden fish in front of the Buddha table, half-squatting on the ground, and a monk with a dagger in his abdomen was lying in his arms.

And this monk is none other than a monk of Qixin.

"Canghai, are you hurt?" Seeing this, Di Qing immediately rushed over and asked anxiously.

Li Canghai's eyebrows lowered, he shook his head solemnly, and said loudly: "Go find the doctor!" ”

Fearing the name rushed over with an arrow, he exclaimed, "Senior brother! ”

Qi Xin was stabbed in the abdomen, a pool of blood flowed, he was dying, his lips were white, and he said with difficulty: "Don't bother, poor monk...... The cause for enlightenment has been found. ”

Li Canghai hugged Qixin, and his face was very ugly.

Afraid of fame, he also looked sad, he watched Qi Xin gradually lower his hand, and recited the Buddha's name in a low voice.

Li Canghai put Qi Xin on the ground, and then slowly stood up.

"Seal off the monastery and don't let anyone leave!" Li Canghai's voice was cold and authentic.

After Lu Jitong received the order, he immediately led everyone to block the temple. (To be continued.) )
