Chapter 21: Land and Water Puja (Part II)

"Who was on duty at the bell tower yesterday?"

Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan found a monk and asked in a deep voice.

The monk saw the fierce and vicious appearance of the two of them, and then saw the string of abbot's Buddha beads in Tang Yun's hand, thought about it for a while, and said, "Yesterday it should have been Senior Brother Lonely Sky, and it was his turn!" ”

Lonely Sky is the disciple of the national teacher.

According to this monk, Lonely Sky came from the Lion Country of the Western Regions, and he admired Buddhism since he was a child. Lonely Sky became attached to the national teacher, and was accepted as a disciple by the national teacher. After the national teacher's travels, he came to the Great Zhou with the national teacher.

It is worth mentioning that among the forty-nine Western Regions powers who came to the Great Zhou with the national teacher, there are also a few people from the Lion Country.

It's Lonely Sky, he left a note here, he wanted to keep Tang Yun and the national teacher here for a while.

If a person goes to great lengths to do such a thing, then there must be a reason for him.

Since this lonely void wants to keep them in Longchen Temple, it is natural that he doesn't want them to get involved in anything.

If he didn't go to Longchen Temple, Tang Yun would definitely be on Suzaku Street now, patrolling around. That person must have been afraid that Tang Yun would find out about the arrangement at the water and land festival, so he came up with this strategy.

"Where is the national teacher now?" Tang Yun asked.

The monk replied, "Back to the benefactor, the abbot has already gone to preside over the water and land puja. ”

Tang Yun woke up suddenly, and only then did he remember that the time was the time for the water and land puja to be held. Now that the people have gathered on Suzaku Street, the people behind the scenes have attracted them here, obviously not wanting them to interfere.

"Quick, let's go back!" Tang Yun roared and ran outside the mountain gate.

……

Shendu, Suzaku Street.

Between Guandefang and Xiuwenfang, it has been completely impassable, and the crowd is bustling, shoulder to shoulder, but surprisingly quiet. Many believers stand in front of the huge Dharma platform, holding incense in their hands and looking reverent.

Here is placed an outer altar, a large altar, and all around it are swaying pale flags. In addition to here, on the main street between Yifeng, Chunhua and other squares, there are also various outer altars such as Lengyan Altar, Huayan Altar, Fahua Altar, Solemn Altar, and Zhujing Altar to recite Buddhism.

"Maitreya...... Today's dojo, the public has established this confession. Concurrency with a big heart. ”

On each outer altar, there is a monk in a robe chanting loudly. The surroundings were very quiet, and countless people listened to the scriptures in silence, for fear that if they spoke out, they would behave disrespectfully towards the Fa.

On the altar, there are many monks, and the sound of chanting seems to have a faint echo.

These monks are not monks of Longchen Temple.

Their faces are different, and they are still quite different from the traditional faces of the Central Plains. They are the great powers of Buddhism brought by Xuan Tan from the Western Regions, a total of forty-nine.

Shendu City is lenient for the people of the Western Regions, this should be the most glorious city in the world today, several official roads extend in all directions, and people from all over the world are here every day, legends, every day are showing.

Those people from the Western Regions with high noses and wide jawbones are not uncommon in the gods now.

At first, the monk was in the Shendu City, taming the crazy beast in one word, and it was almost rumored to be a miracle in the Shendu City.

These monks are praised as living Buddhas and are revered. Some fanatical worshippers even came from as far away as Lingnan Road to participate in this land and water conference.

……

Jing Liang was always worried.

He sat in a teahouse on the edge of Suzaku Street. Nowadays, many people gather here, and some people are thirsty, so they naturally want to buy a pot of tea to quench their thirst, so the teahouse shopkeeper also makes a lot of money.

The owner of the teahouse smiled and accepted the copper coin, the water for the herbal tea was prepared last night, and the amount was very sufficient today.

Jing Liang took a sip of herbal tea, and the cold tea poured into his internal organs, making him a little sober.

It didn't take long for Jing Liang to see the sound of horses neighing not far away, but there were too many people on the side of the road to catch up with them, so he had to tie the horses to the side of the road and squeeze in from the crowd.

"My lord, the palace has spoken, and no one is allowed to stop it. Now that the Shendu Mansion Yin has come here in person, the jade Buddha worn by everyone has been confiscated, and it will be shipped out of the Shendu as quickly as possible, it will definitely be foolproof! The man said.

Jing Liang asked, "Have you told the adults about this matter?" ”

The man's face was a little stiff: "My lord went out of the city with the people of the right guard yesterday, and we don't know where he is now." ”

Jing Liang waved his hand: "Okay, I already know." Go and tell the brothers in the street to keep them on their guard. If there is any trouble, you must report it as soon as possible. By the way, tell Shendu Mansion Yin, let him be optimistic about his subordinates, I don't care about those officials, but if you dare to stop the Demon Hunting Division from doing things, you will be killed! ”

The man was shocked, nodded quickly, and went back into the pile.

Jing Liang drank all the tea in the bowl, but the slightest coolness could not dispel the upset in his heart.

The Jade Buddha has been taken away.

The situation should still be in the hands of the Demon Hunting Division.

But Jing Liang always felt that there was something missing, and the person behind this thing would not return in vain, and he would definitely have other means. And all this, the Demon Hunter Division has no clue.

Jing Liang stood on a stool, which was already relatively close to the altar, and the crowd was even denser, and it was already an extravagant hope to go inside.

Jing Liang glanced at a few people from the Shendu Mansion who were being squeezed and their faces were flushed, and he felt a little headache. These people did not know civilian clothes, and they came out in a military uniform, and if the gangsters wanted to do something, they would definitely avoid them.

But it's okay to avoid the Shendu Mansion on the bright side, and just fall into the net of the secret demon hunting division.

……

Coming down from the mountain, Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan rode their horses all the way.

The more he ran towards the Divine Capital City, the more Tang Yun felt a burst of palpitations, as if something big was about to happen.

Thundered!

Tang Yun glanced at it from afar, and a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the clear sky, slowly moving in the direction of the Divine Capital City. Today, Qin Tianjian clearly said that it was a sunny day, why are there dark clouds?

When the two reached the north wall of Mingyifang, they had to get off their horses, and both sides of the road were occupied by pious people. These people were wrapped in dark silk, fasting in their hands, their eyes were pious, and they read the scriptures in their mouths.

Clear sky thunderbolt.

Suddenly it darkened.

"The weather is really changing." The teahouse shopkeeper muttered.

"It must be the gods and demons of the eight directions who heard our pious call, Amitabha, Amitabha......" A believer whispered.

City gates, lookouts.

The soldier's legs trembled, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, making him unable to shout. He hurriedly ran down the stairs, the process was so hurried that he fell directly to the ground.

Locust!

What a big locust!

A locust demon is overwhelmingly pressing in the direction of the divine capital.
