Chapter 33: The Second Ringing of the Sacred Bell
The melodious sound of the bell sounds, as if it were an ancient bell from some ancient sacrifice, making those who hear it feel like they are in the midst of an ancient unfathomable ritual. While feeling the grandeur, I can't help but feel a sense of desolation in my heart.
Unlike the first bell, the second bell can only be heard by those with supernatural powers above the rebirth mirror.
At this moment, whether it was in a fairyland-like place where beams were carved and painted and Luan Fei and phoenixes danced, or in a place where the yin qi was full of decayed and dense forests full of coffins, almost all the people in the supernatural realm stopped their cultivation or affairs and looked up at the place where the bell sounded.
Not to mention the Divine Realm, the mortal realm, which is mainly composed of three pieces of land separated by a large ocean, is only the vast space opened up by the various Dao Ancestors. The two farthest spaces are thousands of miles apart, and the sound of the bell can reach both places.
can't help but make the people of the supernatural realm sigh at the power of this holy bell, and at the same time, they also secretly guess in their hearts that if this holy bell has a master, I don't know what kind of power that great supernatural power has to penetrate the heavens and the earth.
And in the place where the sound of the holy bell had the greatest impact, in the Ping'an City in the northern border of the Xia Dynasty, the supernatural beings gathered here even felt that a big bell enveloped them inside.
In the echo of the big bell, there were all kinds of Buddha sounds and sayings. These two voices are constantly intertwined in everyone's minds, and if they are a little weaker in spirit, they will be knocked to sleep by these sounds.
And people with strong mental strength also need to concentrate on dealing with the reverberation of these two voices in their heads. If you're not careful, you'll be blown away by one of these two sounds.
But the Taoist priests and monks who are the most unaffected and benefit the most are very few in Ping'an City, not to mention the supernatural powers that are already unique in ten thousand, and the reason for this phenomenon is due to the special nature of Ping'an City.
Unlike other cities in the Xia Dynasty, the people of Heian Castle believed in their own hands more than Buddhas and gods. After all, in Heian City, a realm where the supernatural powers have been greatly suppressed, if you pin your hopes on the gods and Buddhas, it is tantamount to giving up your property.
In the past, there was a splendid temple in Heian City, but later because the gods and Buddhas could not break through the ban and communicate here, the demands of good men and women could not be satisfied, so over time, no one came here to offer incense, and the temple gradually fell into disrepair.
If it weren't for the abbot of the temple who resolutely returned to the world, led his disciples to switch to business, and kept the boundaries of the temple, even that land would have been taken away by the government.
Today, the temple, known as Heian Temple, is located in a bustling area, but it is deserted compared to the surrounding shops.
The original golden hall is no longer the same as it was at the beginning, but it is not so unbearable. Abbot not only has great wisdom in Buddhism, but also great wisdom in business.
led the disciples to make a lot of achievements in the extremely dangerous business world of Ping'an City, so that in the case of keeping the temple, the temple would not be dilapidated.
Today's Ping'an Temple is a little different, at this time the sky is slightly bright, and the pedestrians outside the temple see that there is a faint golden light emerging from the main hall of the temple, and there is a Buddha sound coming out inside.
The sound is not loud, but it can pass through all the noise and go straight to the heart, and those who hear it feel that their hearts have been purified. The sins committed in the past seem to have been forgiven at the moment when the Buddha's voice entered the body.
Someone howled and cried, pushed open the gate, rushed to the temple and crawled to the ground, and finally fell to his knees in front of the main hall.
Seeing this, the rest of the people also followed into the temple gate, and when everyone saw the monk sitting on the futon in the main hall, they couldn't help but be stunned.
It was a young monk dressed in a moon-white robe, with his back to the crowd, chanting scriptures towards the solemn Buddha statue, and the Buddha statue in the main hall emitted a faint golden light on the monk's body.
The light of the Buddha shines, and the sound of the Buddha enters the heart. Anyone who hears the sound of the Buddha with his ears and sees a monk with his eyes feels that there is nothing else in front of him but this monk.
As if this monk was the only one in the world, his image continued to rise in the hearts of everyone, and finally the majestic one was like a god.
In front of the main hall, there were densely kneeling people who came to worship, at this moment, whether it was dignitaries or ordinary people.
They all forgot their worldly identities and prejudices, leaned close to each other, and bowed reverently to the monks in front of them.
In the midst of this, some wept bitterly and spoke out loudly about their sins. Some people let go of their previous suspicions, tell each other about their mistakes, and ask for forgiveness from the other party.
This temple has become a pure land of Buddhism, so that everyone in it can let go of all kinds of grievances and knots, and repent of their sins.
After a while, the sound of the Buddha stopped coming, and everyone looked up. The temple is still the temple, the Buddha statue is still solemn, but the sacred Buddha light and the monks of the Pudu people are gone.
Everyone got up one after another, and a young man in a fancy costume was trampled on the corner of his clothes by a vendor. The peddler glanced up at the young man and trembled with fear.
That young man is the son of a powerful man in the city, and it is common for him to oppress the people and act as a prestige, and it has also happened to kill civilians in the street, and he has long been warned by many people to meet him, and he must stay away when he encounters him.
The peddler thought of the rumors about him and was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed. However, a pair of hands held his shoulders, and the peddler looked at the kind-faced young man in front of him in astonishment.
"Don't be so nervous, just stepping on a piece of clothing, how can this young master be such a stingy person. The young man smiled kindly and innocently, patted the peddler on the shoulder, and comforted.
The peddler wiped his eyes, unable to believe that this was the rumored notorious young man, and he replied, "That... villain..."
Seeing this, the young man smiled more kindly, and said to the peddler, "You go, go, I won't blame you." ”
The peddler swallowed, stopped talking, and then dared to testify, "The little man is really gone." ”
"Let's go, let's go, it's okay. The young man nodded vigorously and waved his hand at the vendor, indicating that he did not mind what had just happened.
When the peddler heard this, he nodded and stepped back, keeping an eye out for thugs who had suddenly rushed up.
When his foot touched the doorway, he took a deep breath, then turned and ran to the side.
"Bang", a dull voice sounded, and the vendor fell to the ground, clutching his head. "Ahh
"In broad daylight, whoever dares to kill people in the street, you get up quickly. A rather majestic voice said.
The peddler raised his head and saw a tall and majestic middle-aged man looking at him, and beside the man, there was a young man with extraordinary bearing, who had an incomparable temperament than the powerful young man he had seen before.
"Don't worry, with this person by my side, no one in Ping'an City will dare to kill you in front of him, but maybe in the future, it's better for you to go out of the city. The young man looked at the vendor lying on the ground and smiled.
The peddler nodded vigorously a few times as if he didn't understand, then got up and ran forward without looking back, and said secretly in his heart: "People like them must be noble, and they are not enough to make fun of this matter, I have to quickly clean up and take my mother-in-law to my brother's house to avoid it." ”
The young man is Xia Mu, and the middle-aged man is the city lord of Zhao. Xia Mu retracted his back and looked at the hawker's back far away, and said to the city lord of Zhao: "The Buddha's voice of the holy bell is really powerful, and with the blessing of the Buddha here, I almost fell into the Tao." ”
"Your Highness is too humble, but why did Your Highness come here instead of chasing the Buddha. City Lord Zhao looked at Xia Mu and found that the young man in front of him, who was a few rounds younger than himself, was unfathomable.
It was himself who almost fell on the road just now, if it weren't for Xia Muyi's finger on his eyebrows, I'm afraid he would also be one of those kneeling down.
"There's no point in chasing that monk, the three sticks can't hit a fart, and there are very few words, so it's better to go and see the remnants of his supernatural powers. After speaking, Xia Mu walked towards the temple, and the city lord of Zhao thought for a moment and followed.
