Chapter 14: Daogu, Nun

As night fell, the sound of knocking on the door woke Shang Biao from his steady. After a little sense, he found that it was Zhao Guizhen who knocked on the door.

"Come in, what's the matter?"

Shang Biao waved his palm to open the door, and in addition to Zhao Guizhen, there were two women beside him outside the door.

The older woman dressed as a Taoist aunt, looking like a rare Kun Dao. Another young woman is well-behaved and cute, but she has a shaved bald head, and a nine-point ring scar on her head indicates her official ordination.

The moment Shang Biao saw the nun, he always felt that something was wrong.

It wasn't until she noticed the ring scar on the top of her head again that she realized what the problem was. This is not a historical drama made by those brainless screenwriters, how could the theater make such a low-level mistake.

Monks and nuns are ordained and burned with incense candles to show the sincerity of burning themselves to support the Bodhisattva Buddha, this custom is not what should appear in this era, and even if it appears, it should not be such a mature nine-precept incense scar.

The custom of burning ring scars is said to have originated in the Yuan Dynasty, when a monk Zhide was revered by the ancestors of the Yuan dynasty. When he preached the vows, he stipulated that the ordained people must burn the top of their heads and fingers with incense to show their determination to believe in the Buddha.

Of course, the master who left this custom was not a masochist, but based on the teachings of the Buddhist scriptures.

Article 16 of the 48 Light Precepts of the Sanskrit Net Sutra says: "If you burn your body, arms, and fingers; If you don't burn your body, arms, and fingers to make offerings to the Buddhas, you are not a monk. ”

The Lotus Sutra: Medicine King Bodhisattva's Abilities says: "All sentient beings are happy to see the Bodhisattva burn his body and arm to support the Buddhas. ”

There are scriptures to follow, so the later generations handed down the custom of burning the body to show the devotion to the Buddha, and standardized the body burning etiquette into one, two, three, six, nine, and the highest twelve precepts 'Bodhisattva vows'.

And in this era, although Tang Xuanzang traveled west to retrieve a large number of scriptures, but all the monks with a little knowledge have not had time to study the Buddhist avenue of the canon, how can they pay attention to this kind of trivial matter.

"I'm sorry to disturb the Daoist, let me introduce you, this is the Qingfeng Guan Xuanwei Daoist."

Zhao Guizhen introduced the Dao Gu first, and Shang Biao bowed his hand to the Dao Gu to greet each other.

"This bhikshuni is a Taoist friend whom Xuan Wei met on the way, and his Dharma name is Jingyue. Like Shi Nan Daoyou, when he heard that the evil Jiao was harming the world, he was filled with righteous indignation and came to make some merits.

Coincidentally, Master Jingyue is also a monk in Qingcheng, is it difficult for the two to get acquainted? ”

Hearing Zhao Guizhen say this, Shang Biao immediately understood, and it seemed that his identity was also exposed.

It is estimated that his search for Dongting Lake aroused the suspicion of the other party, after all, 99% of the people who are going to Dongting Lake at this time and don't know the way are fellow actors.

"Yes, that's really a coincidence, but I rarely go out in Xia, and I haven't heard of the name of Master Jingyue."

Shang Biao smiled faintly and did not recognize.

However, Na Jingyue opened her mouth and started talking nonsense: "Shi Nan Daoyou's great name Poor Ni has long heard of it, the sword slashes the obscene god, and the fox demon is still a strange story in the mouths of Qingcheng cultivators." ”

Shang Biao's face darkened when he heard it, and sure enough, he was an actor, so he began to play a black hand. If Zhao Guizhen has any ideas, he will definitely be a little more wary of him next.

Sure enough, Zhao Guizhen believed it as soon as he heard Shang Biao's unwarranted event, and a trace of discoloration appeared on his face, and then said with a smile:

"I didn't expect Shi Nan Daoyou to do so many big things, and he was unheard of. Next, in addition to the evil Jiao, Shi Nan Daoyou's name is afraid that he will move the world. ”

Shang Biao showed a somewhat ugly smile on his face, and politely said a few words.

Then Zhao Guizhen told Shang Biao to set off in the early hours of the morning and go to the canyon where Huojiao was located, and asked him to get ready.

After getting to know each other, nothing happened, and Zhao Guizhen and Xuan Wei left his room together. Only the Jingyue nun found an excuse to stay, and it seemed that she was going to have a showdown with Shang Biao.

"It's a bit immoral for my friend to do this, isn't it?"

Shang Biao casually threw a silent enchantment and said with a calm face.

"Hehe, my words aren't all nonsense. I've really heard of your name. Su Jin hates you to the bone, I've heard your name from her mouth a while ago! ”

Jingyue showed two white tiger teeth and looked at him with interest.

"Why, she also entered this film?"

"I also want to, originally we both agreed to participate in the promotion film together, hugging her thick thighs, and being promoted to a second-rate actor smoothly, there is really nothing cooler than this.

However, since she participated in the last film with you, it seems that something has gone wrong with her. said that I wanted to postpone the promotion, but I had no choice but to come by myself.

I said Brother Shi, if you don't look at Su Jin's face, take me with you.

Will warm the bed, will sell cute, god, beg for support! ”

Jingyue shook her small breasts and coquettishly became coquettish.

Shang Biao sneered, and with a 'poof' sound, the magic sword was unsheathed, pointing at the little nun who was close to his cordon.

"Do you think it's possible? I warn you, it's better to stay away from me, or something unpleasant will not happen.

Also, don't think that I don't know what you are doing, Su Jin can fight me twice and get out, I don't know if you have such good luck. ”

"It's really a cold stone, and you deserve to be single for the rest of your life."

Jingyue muttered dissatisfiedly, and seeing Shang Biao's bad attitude, she put away her smiling face, turned around and slammed the door to leave.

Time flashed to the early hours of the morning, and after Shang Biao, who was ready to go and adjusted his state to the best, went downstairs to meet Zhao Guizhen, several people used their own means and rushed out of the city.

The canyon where Huojiao was located was a hundred miles away from Linhe City, but several people were not mortals, and they arrived at their destination in an hour after rushing at full speed.

Zhao Guizhen calculated the time, and at this moment it was the time when the sun was rising when the sun was subsiding. Huo Jiao can neither use Yuehua to improve his strength, nor does he have the bonus of fire spirit qi under the scorching sun.

The time has already been occupied, and the location depends on Xuan Wei's means.

I don't know what the canyon was like before, but now it has become a sea of fire. A few people just approached the periphery, and they could feel waves of heat scorching their skin.

Shang Biao's ghast clone didn't have the magic power of the gods, so he also felt very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Zhao Guizhen was prepared and distributed a fire amulet to everyone.

"Xuan Wei, how is it, can the formation be arranged?"

Zhao Guizhen looked at the Dao Gu beside him and asked softly.

"The formation you asked me to prepare before was probably a little inappropriate to deal with this situation, but fortunately, I borrowed Master's Five Elements Spirit Bead before I came out.

There are exactly four of us, I have a set of Five Elements Transformation Yuan Array, with the four of us as the corners, the Five Elements Spirit Bead will suppress it, and temporarily transform this flame into the Qi of the Waves and Water Spirits, which should be able to force the fire Jiao out. ”
