The Water and Land Festival, the full name of which is the "Dharma Realm Shengfan Water and Land Pudu Lent Victory Meeting", is also the grandest and most solemn festival in Han Buddhism. It originated during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang and flourished during the Song and Song dynasties.

Taoism did not have water and land dojo activities at the beginning, and the reasons for this are extremely complicated, and even Zhang Jiao and others who rebelled in the name of Taoism back then. However, since the popularity of the Buddhism Water and Land Festival, people in the Taoist Sect sometimes hold a lively event in order to enhance their own influence.

Of course, they are not generally called land and water pujas, or land and water dojos.

For example, in the past two days, Fu Seal Sanzong applied to set up a water and land dojo in Jinling on the grounds that the Heavenly Court Emperor Lu Jian held a blessing celebration for the ancient god Lu Press.

Zhao Ji did not object to this, and even told officials from all over the country to support it well.

And just when the three sects of Fu Seal were given the 'Ancient God Land Pressure Blessing Celebration', the passenger ship carrying the body of the enlightened Zen master had also arrived near Yuhang.

Yuhang Wharf.

Today's Yuhang Wharf is very different, and it can even be said to be unusually noisy.

Early in the morning, there were dense monks on the dock, and at a cursory glance, I am afraid that there are not thousands. In addition to a large number of monks, there were also many servants, and even the defenders of Yuhang defended nearby.

Encountering this kind of thing naturally aroused the curiosity of many people.

In other parts of the dock, it was full of people watching the excitement, including a large number of martial arts people.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, there are so many monks early in the morning, and I don't know what's wrong."

"Hey, that one looks like the first seat of the Shaolin Temple?"

"Wait, look at the person at the front, doesn't look like the abbot of Wutai Mountain."

"Also, also, over there, are the two people next to the abbot of Wutai Mountain, it seems to be Putuo Mountain, and the abbot of Jiuhua Mountain."

"Hey, what the hell is going on, why are the abbots of the major Buddhist holy places here, is there something wrong?"

"Nonsense, most of the Buddhist monks have appeared at the moment, and it would be strange if there was no big thing happening. I just don't know what happened, but I shocked so many Buddhist bigwigs. ”

There was a lot of talk, and no one knew what was going on.

Just as the onlookers were speculating, a passenger boat with a white ghost banner appeared in the distance. And with the appearance of passenger ships, the pier was filled with the sound of chanting.

"Nam no Amitabha night Amitabha night, Amitabha night, Amitabha Dubhabi."

The voice was solemn and solemn, and people couldn't help but restrain the distractions in their hearts.

There is no shortage of people who have something to do, and they understand it when they see such a scene.

The Sutra of the Past Lives, a passenger ship with a soul-attracting flag, this is someone who died overseas, and it is very likely that it is a big man in Buddhism!

Amid the solemn chanting, eight warrior monks walked down from the passenger ship carrying a simple coffin. There was also a person carrying a huge wooden box in the back, and I don't know what it contained. The last person to come out was the Holy Maiden Lingmengfan of Cihang Jingzhai.

The beauty is dressed in white like snow, slightly haggard.

But it does not damage the holy temperament and the beautiful face.

The abbot of Jiuhua Mountain and other Buddhist holy places walked up the mountain without too many greetings, and said directly: "Everything has been prepared." ”

Several people looked at each other, and there was a strange flicker in it, and everything was silent.

As early as when he left the Little Immortal Realm, Lingmeng Fan contacted the master through Cihang Jingzhai's special intelligence channel. And he told the entrustment of the Zen master Wuming, as well as most of the things.

Of course, she didn't tell anyone about the Zen Master Gomei's gift of the art of sealing the gods. It's not that Lingmengfan wants to swallow the method of immortality, but she is worried that the leakage of the news may cause unnecessary trouble.

It's just that Lingmengfan didn't expect that the matter of Zen Master Wuming would alarm so many people.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little strange, some of these people were thousands of miles away from here, how did they come in such a short time?

Seeing Lingmengfan's doubts, the host of Jiuhua Mountain sighed with a complicated expression: "As early as last month, Master Wuming had already sent someone to secretly contact us. It's just that we didn't expect him to be, hey. ”

Lingmeng Fan only understood when she heard this, although the time for Zen Master Wuming to tell her about the plan was short, but this idea was not just born, but had already been planned and arranged.

She thought that Zen Master Wuming could give up everything for the sake of Buddhism and dedicate all the great sacrifices, and when she thought of her original greed, she couldn't help but feel even more ashamed.

Reimun Reimu silently recited the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, sorted out his mood a little, and then slowly asked, "So, I think you Zen masters already have a plan, and I don't know what we should do next." ”

"Master Wuming is the host of the Great Xiangguo, so we naturally have to accompany us all the way to Kaifeng." The abbot of Wutai Mountain had a different color in his eyes, and he folded his hands and chanted the Buddha's name. The others did not speak, but they all chanted the Buddha's name, apparently not disagreeing with this.

Lingmengfan's eyes drooped slightly, and he soon understood the intentions of the Zen masters.

Kaifeng is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the most prosperous place in the world, since the enlightened Zen master intends to break the shackles of Buddhism, it is natural to choose the most favorable place.

Buddhism is not like the three sects of Fu Seal, and it also needs to consider the backlash of the Quanzhen Sect, and whether it will be curbed by the imperial court if it continues to expand its influence.

For Buddhism, they have no way to retreat, they can only choose to fight!

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, and Buddhism is now the one who has nothing to lose.

And once the plan of the enlightened Zen master is successful, only in Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, can the influence of Buddhism be expanded to the greatest extent, and at the same time, the matter will be conveyed to the current Emperor Zhao Ji of the Great Song Dynasty to strive for greater benefits for Buddhism.

After roughly guessing the plans of the Zen masters, Lingmeng Fan nodded and didn't say anything more.

It was also in this wonderful atmosphere that thousands of monks began to escort the body of Zen Master Wuming to Kaifeng. Along the way, monks continued to join it, and monks continued to leave one after another, and the number of monks remained at about 3,000.

And their move was to appease the sensitive heart of the Great Song Dynasty and tell them that Buddhism had no malicious intentions, but simply escorted the body of the monk.

At the same time, before the body of the enlightened Zen master arrived in Kaifeng, a matter of hundreds of Buddhist monks jointly applying for a water and land puja was also spread in Kaifeng.

Some say that the festival was mainly to pay tribute to the famous Zen master, while others say that Buddhism was trying to expand its influence in response to the growing power of Taoism.

Anyway, there are many opinions, and no one can say a name.

However, no matter how the people spread it, Zhao Ji finally agreed to the joint application of the Buddhist monks. According to the application of both parties, the 'Ancient God Land Pressure Blessing Celebration' of the Three Sects of Fu Seal will be held on January 13 and end on the Lantern Festival on January 15.

The water and land puja of Buddhism is held on January 20 and ends on January 23.

It's just that Zhao Ji doesn't know the secret plans and plans of Buddhism and Taoism, and he doesn't know what kind of uproar will be caused in the world after these two grand events.

Except for one person.

Zhang Shang looked at the latest information about Buddhism and Taoism in his hand, and said with a smile: "Jinling, Kaifeng, it seems that this son is going to help them." ”
