Chapter 233: Little Monk Ten

That's a bit fast! Isn't it fast? Yuanqing knew that his little senior brother was powerful, but he didn't expect that his running speed had exceeded the limit of mortals. He was grabbed by Yuan An and ran in his hands, his feet did not touch the ground, his stomach was filled with cold wind, and his face was blown into tears by the wind...... His image!

"Senior brother, if you endure it again, you will be able to catch up with the master and them soon."

Clear the eyes of tears!

Sure enough, as Yuan An said, in less than half a day, Yuan An took Yuan Qing to catch up with Kong Yuan and his group of monks, which shows how fast Yuan An's speed is!

However, in one day, the number of people in the team increased again, and the total number of people had exceeded 100. Continuing southward, more monks came to converge, and after half a month, the total number of monks heading south exceeded 2,000. With so many people getting together, there are more problems. The most important issue is the issue of eating. Monks can turn their fortunes, but who can solve the problem of eating so many people at the same time? The great family is able, but how many big families can there be along the way? Most of them are ordinary poor people, who can't eat enough to eat, so how can they have extra food to give to the monks? Or is it that many monks?

Yuan'an had to take the monks to dig wild vegetables and cook them. These monks can endure hardships, eating wild vegetables and eating wild vegetables, but Yuan'an eats so much that his face is blue, and occasionally goes out to make tooth sacrifices to change his taste. He really admired these monks in his heart.

The number of wild herbs was not endless, and along the way, many monks were so hungry that they were yellow-skinned, but fortunately no one starved to death. Along the way, there were still wealthy people from wealthy families who believed in Buddhism to bring some food, so that the monks could have a full meal or two.

Fortunately, the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not think of exterminating the monks, and did not send troops to hunt down and kill their group of monks. You must know that two or three thousand monks get together, this number is scared to death, if you really want to make a fan or something, it's easy, but fortunately they are all bald, and they are older, so they didn't think in the direction of making fan. However, there are also advantages to being crowded, and the robbers and robbers along the way are afraid to come up and rob. You must know that most of the monks carry large bags on their backs, which contain things rescued from the temple, many of which are inlaid with gold and silver.

It took several months for a group of monks to come to Jiangnan. The monks of the Southern Dynasty had already heard the news from the north and were ready to accept them, and as soon as the monks from the north arrived, the monasteries in the south accepted them separately. Qingyuan Temple also accepted two monks, who were the two people who cooked for Yuan'an and Yuanguan in the cave temple, one was called Xuan Shen and the other was called Xuan Lone.

The life of Qingyuan Temple surprised Xuan Shen and Xuan Lone, and I couldn't imagine that the living standard of this small temple was better than that of the big temple, it was simply hidden and not revealed, no wonder it was able to cultivate two masters of Buddhism who were profound in Kongyuan and Kongxing!

Flipping through the Buddhist scriptures printed out by Yuan'an, the two monks were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together. With so many Buddhist scriptures that they have never seen before, they will also become a generation of eminent monks, right?

Yuanyun has already returned to the vulgar and married the little lady of the Cui family. On the day the two got married, his family specially sent a vegetarian banquet with rich dishes. Yuanyun's parents even sent a lot of money and goods to thank the masters of Qingyuan Temple.

In this way, three months passed, and the presiding officers and high-level leaders of the temples of the Southern Dynasty gathered together. This time it's not about the Dharma, it's about what to do in the future. The Northern Dynasty extermination of Buddhism sounded a wake-up call for them, and they were afraid that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty would also follow the example of the Northern Dynasty to exterminate Buddhism, so where should they flee to then? There was no other Southern Dynasty to take them in.

"Shall we go to Tianzhu?" An old monk suggested. Tianzhu is the place where the Buddha became a Buddha, and everyone yearns for Tianzhu.

"It's too far." The host of Qiyuan Temple shook his head, "And where Tianzhu is, we don't know, and we don't know how to get there?" ”

"So what to do? Is it just a matter of waiting to die? ”

"Not really. The emperors of the Southern Dynasty did not have any idea of destroying the Buddha. ”

"Not now, but what about the future? What about another emperor? Isn't it always good on the side of the Northern Dynasties, several emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty all believed in Buddhism, but they knew that they were replaced by the emperors of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but they were going to destroy the Buddha. ”

"So, we have to keep a back hand and find a place where we can do the back road."

"But where can you find a place like this?"

"Well, I think of a place." A very young voice sounded among the voices of many middle-aged and elderly people.

Everyone immediately stopped discussing and looked at the person who spoke. It was a young monk, standing behind the host of Qingyuan Temple, it is said that he was his eldest apprentice, who had entered Buddhism since he was a baby, and was the most rooted Buddhist disciple. It is said that this child is a lucky star, Qingyuan Temple gradually prospered because of him, and life is getting better and better, and it is also this child who accompanied his master and brought the monks of the Northern Dynasty back to the Southern Dynasty. If it weren't for this kid and his brothers, the monks of the Northern Dynasty wouldn't know what would have happened. At least, at least half of them won't survive, right?

"Yuan'an, what is it? Tell us all. The abbot of Qiyuan Temple said in a kind tone.

"This place is overseas." Yuan'an took out the map that he had prepared a long time ago, asked Yuanqing and Yuanguan to hang the map high, and pointed to Huaxia Dao in the map, "We live in this continent, this is the sea, on the opposite side of the sea, there is a very huge island, there is a country on it, called Fusang Country. It is recorded in the Book of Han that this country is called the Wa State. ”

"We can go to the country to spread Buddhism, and the country will definitely welcome us." Yuan An continued, "We can develop the Wa Kingdom into our retreat. ”

"I've heard of this country." The presiding officer of Qiyuan Temple said, "It is said that the people of the Wa Kingdom are the descendants of the five hundred boys and girls that Xu Fu brought with him when he went overseas to seek immortals. ”

"I've heard of it too." The abbot of the cave temple said, "It's just that the people there don't say the same thing as us, right?" Can they understand what we say? If you don't understand something, how can you spread the Dharma? ”

Yuan An said: "Senior Brother Yuanguan and I once met the Japanese who were shipwrecked in the Central Plains, and learned the language of the Japanese country from him. Junior Brother Yuanguan and I can teach all the uncles and brothers Chinese, and as long as you want to learn, Junior Brother Yuanguan and I will not hide your secrets. ”

The monks were moved. The country on the other side of the sea. The country that the Emperor of the Central Plains can't control should be very safe, right?

"But the Wa Kingdom is on the other side of the sea, how are we going to get there?" This is everyone's concern.
