Chapter 760: Hundred Monks Puja
The Buddha Kingdom is not an empire as they imagined.
In front of them, not even a city, the low-rise rock-and-earth houses are the most common buildings in this so-called "Buddha country". Water is scarce in the desert, so the walls of these houses are mostly cracked, and you can see the furnishings and occasionally the rudimentary stone beds.
As far as the eye can see, such houses are close to each other and stretch out, and a radius of about three miles is crowded with such dilapidated stone houses. According to the introduction of the little monk who led the way, what they saw in front of them was the entire Buddha country.
"All kinds of people from neighboring countries who have come to the Buddha and become monks will gather in our Buddha country. In the Buddha country, each family has different ways of enlightenment, different principles, different things to do, and different words, so we also have a saying that a hundred monks cross in the Buddha country......"
The little monk who led the way introduced him diligently, and at the same time led the fifth Tingyun and the others into the low stone house group.
Different from the first impression, there is an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going in the Buddhist country, although it is not as rich and prosperous as Yanhua Shenjing, Suzhou and Hangzhou, but it is also full of people coming and going, and it is very lively. It's just that there are half-collapsed stone houses on both sides of the road, there are no vendors, and all the people who pass by are bald monks. These monks are completely different from the guiding monks, all of them have strange expressions and hurried steps, some of them always twist their eyebrows, some of them have blank eyes, some of them laugh silently, and some of them cry bitterly......
"They are on the way to find the way," the guiding monk always smiled, keenly discovering the curious look on Su Xiao and Dai Qinglian's faces, and explained warmly, "That person cultivates the Heavenly Dao Buddha, that person cultivates the Buddha of Desirelessness, and over there, and there, they cultivate the Buddha of Despair......
Sikong Ming intercepted the words of the leading monk: "Isn't there only one kind of Buddha in the whole world?"
The guiding monk asked, "If there is only one kind of Buddha, what kind of Buddha should it be?"
"This ...... This ...... "Sikong Ming hesitated, not knowing what to say. He just asked casually, how did he know that the other party would be so serious. What's more, he doesn't know anything about Buddhas, Taos, and other big truths, so of course he can only say nothing.
Although Lou Yingxian, Su Xiao and others are the leaders of the college, they are also ignorant of Buddhism and Buddhism.
The guiding monk sighed lightly, seemed to be a little disappointed, and then continued to move forward: "There are thousands of Buddhas in the world, and whoever is enlightened is a Buddha, and where there is an enlightened person, there is a Buddha country." Some people have been thinking about the wall for decades, some people stand by the lake and blink, some people carry knives to kill people, and some people help ants cross the river...... Who can say that they are not Buddhas?"
"Can you become a Buddha by killing someone?"
Fifth, Tingyun said suddenly.
The guiding monk's smile grew: "Murder can be done, theft can be done, rape can also be done, and the Buddha doesn't care about the form." ”
Seeing the surprised and even disgusted expressions of everyone behind him, the leading monk pointed to the two Tsing Yi monks who were walking in front of him and said: "The one on the left is a wanted criminal with a reward of ten years in the Jinsha Empire, because he once enlarged the belly of the little princess of Jinsha, but he is now called Buse......; Both of them became Buddhas and were disciples of Master Huixin. ”
Fifth, listening to the clouds, they thought that the little monk in front of them was kind at first, but now they only felt a chill down their backs when they listened to it. They unconsciously looked at the two of them who were not fierce and did not look fierce, and happened to stare at Xue Hanlu and Su Xiao directly, and the corners of their mouths were lightly hooked to reveal an evil smile.
Xiao Mengdie tugged at the sleeve of the fifth Tingyun and said in a low voice: "Fifth, this place is strange. ”
Fifth, Tingyun nodded secretly, and continued to talk to the guide monk on the surface: "Even they have become Buddhas? It seems that this master of the heart is highly respected and has a good way to do it...... I just don't know, what kind of Buddha are they?"
"Under the seat of the master of the heart, he is naturally the Buddha of the heart. ”
At this time, Dai Qinglian quietly pulled the cuffs of the fifth Tingyun again, and said softly: "Fifth brother, Lian'er always feels that the people around us are looking at us with a very strange look. But when Lian'er looked up, she didn't see anything, for some reason, this place is so gloomy. ”
"Lian'er, don't be afraid. ”
Looking at Dai Qinglian, who was already able to whisper to herself, the fifth Tingyun comforted.
Having said that, Lou Yingxian, Tan Jinchun and the others all unconsciously stood more densely, Wan Feijian and Zhu Qi side by side, each pressing their hands on the hilt of the sword.
"Look, donors, this is the Dharma field of the Buddha Kingdom~"
Just as everyone's spirits were getting tense, the guiding monk suddenly pointed ahead and shouted happily.
Fifth, when they heard the clouds, they saw that an indescribably large open space appeared in front of them, and in such a complex of stone houses, a clearing suddenly appeared, which made everyone unexpected. On the other side of the clearing, there is a natural stone platform half a zhang high, and at this moment, there are more than 20 old monks wearing robes sitting on the stone platform, and the youngest of them has lowered his white eyebrows to his cheeks.
Below the stone platform, above the open space, there were dozens of people sitting on the ground, respectfully facing the stone platform, this scene made the fifth Tingyun feel more cordial, and they couldn't help but think of the days when they listened to lectures in the academy.
There was still a steady stream of people pouring into the clearing around him, and the fifth Tingyun noticed that the two monks who had met on the way before also went to the stone platform, sitting cross-legged like a diligent and studious academy student, closing his eyes and not moving.
"Fifth, look over there. ”
Xiao Mengdie leaned over to the fifth Tingyun and winked.
Fifth Tingyun glanced at Xiao Mengdie in confusion, only to find that the rest of the people's eyes were not quite right. He looked in the direction indicated by Xiao Mengdie, and saw that in the northeast corner of the clearing, that is, on the right side of the natural stone platform, a carriage was parked there, the carriage had no carriage, it looked extremely simple, and several large boxes were stacked on the wooden planks in the open air, and the wooden planks were placed on the wheels, and the wheels were connected to the ruts, and the ruts were connected to the three healthy horses.
"That's ......" Fifth Tingyun immediately understood the confusion and horror in Xiao Mengdie's eyes, because those boxes were exactly the same as those in the carriage behind them, and they were distributed by the Martial God Temple to the teams participating in the Yuan Dao Society.
He quickly remembered that there was a wheel mark in the place where they stayed last night, and at that time they were guessing whether the team that preceded them was from the Sands Empire or the Yamato Dynasty, but they didn't expect to run into it today.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's really time for you to come," the guiding monk didn't seem to notice the strange appearance of the Fifth Tingyun at all, and said excitedly, "Today is the Hundred Monks Dharma Festival that has not been seen in our Buddha country for several years, and all the masters who have cultivated to the highest level have gathered to transcend the lives that have disappeared in the world. Its merits are immeasurable, and you can catch up, which is really related to my Buddha. ”
At this time, two monks walked side by side, glanced at each other, and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you just have one yesterday? ”
The two monks didn't even look at the fifth Tingyun and them, and walked straight towards the stone platform.
Fifth, Tingyun, Lou Yingxian, and Tan Jinchun all heard the two voices clearly, Lou Yingxian looked at the stone platform, and asked inadvertently: "Your legal name is not deceitful?"
The guide monk clasped his hands together: "The little monk does not deceive." ”
Tan Jinchun hurriedly asked: "Then you are ...... from the previous colorless and non-fierce one?"
Bu deceived and replied calmly: "It's not a little monk, but it's a little monk." ”
Fifth, listening to the clouds, their expressions changed slightly.
Dai Qinglian said with a grin: "You little monk deceived us, that uncle who is not fierce can be your father, how can it be your junior brother?"
"There is no order to ask," Bu said with a wink at Dai Qinglian, "The master is a teacher and a brother." ”
After saying this, Bu Deception suddenly said "ah": "It's not good, the master is calling me, and the little monk slipped away first." As he spoke, he bowed slightly, and then without waiting for the fifth hearing Yun and their answer, he turned around and went straight to the stone platform. The fifth Tingyun wanted to speak, but before the words came out, he was already outside the five zhangs, and everyone knew at this time that the little monk who had been in front of them with a pleasant face was actually a cultivator of the triple heaven of the Yudan realm.
Fifth, they are standing on the edge of the Dharma field, and they don't seem to be bullied, they seem to be out of place in this place.
The monks who passed by them didn't even look at them, as if in their eyes, the Fifth Tingyun group was no different from the stone houses that were almost collapsing.
"What now?"
Tan Jinchun saw that the rest of the people were contemplating, so he took the lead in breaking the silence, "This place ...... It is not advisable to stay for a long time. ”
"Don't fool the monk and forget something. Chen Shan said.
The crowd looked at him suspiciously, and he continued, "He didn't tell us where to replenish food and water, and it doesn't look like a place where food and water are stored. ”
Su Xiao took over: "You want to say that you didn't deceive us and deliberately led us here, right?"
Wan Feijian, who rarely expressed his opinions, said at this time: "Don't deceive, don't be sexual, not fierce, but in fact, it's deception, lustful, and vicious." ”
Sikong Ming said: "Where is the other team of people who escorted the dart box of the Martial God Building, how could they leave the dart box there?"
Fifth, Tingyun listened to everyone's words, and suddenly felt that everyone's words quickly sorted out the current situation clearly, and everyone could complement each other, which was far more comprehensive than the issues he paid attention to alone. Before he knew it, he was experiencing the advantages of a team for the first time.
Seeing that the doubts were raised, Lou Yingxian finally asked, "The question now is, what is the problem with this Hundred Monks Festival?" Obviously, whether this festival is once every few years as the two passing monks said, it seems abrupt and strange. They even felt that the holding of this festival was inseparable from their arrival, after all, they could not find a second group of people with hair in the entire Buddha country.
At this time, the fifth Tingyun said: "I think that instead of stumbling with this inexplicable Hundred Monks Fa Society, we should divert our attention and see if those boxes are real." As he spoke, he pointed to the Martial God Tower's dart box placed in the open air in the distance.
Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound like a summer mosquito.
It was the sound of hundreds of monks chanting at the same time from around the stone platform, inside and outside the dharma hall, and they couldn't hear what they were saying in their mouths, and they couldn't understand it and couldn't pronounce it clearly, so they finally came together and became a "buzzing" noise.
Fifth, Tingyun felt that something in the air was changing subtly, as if the Yuan Force was stirring, but it was not. He looked around and saw the monks he could see, both sitting and standing, walking and lying, all of them standing still, their eyes closed, and only their lips were constantly opening and harmonizing, making mosquito-like sounds.
The scene is very strange, especially since many of the monks are still in a walking position.
The rest of the people obviously also noticed, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and soon Lou Yingxian made up his mind: "Go and check it." Then, whether it's true or not, get out of here. It could be seen that he was also a little stunned by the sudden stillness inside and outside the court.
Fear mostly comes from the unknown.
Fifth, listening to the clouds, their situation at this time is a good confirmation of this sentence.
The discussion was settled, and the group bypassed the place where the monks meditated and chanted, and approached the carriage in a roundabout way.
The people inside and outside the Dharma field, up and down the stone platform, still closed their eyes and chanted, and no one paid any attention to them.
Fifth, Tingyun even has the illusion that he is in a different world from those monks......
They came to the carriage, and Lou Yingxian quickly checked the dart boxes stacked together, and came to the conclusion: "It's the dart boxes distributed by the Martial God Building, this can't be fake." ”
Tan Jinchun said: "In other words, at this moment, there is still a group of young cultivators who are going to participate in the Yuan Dao Society like us are also in this Buddha Kingdom?"
Xiao Mengdie said: "Although these boxes can't be opened, they are not very valuable, but for us, they are tickets to participate in the Yuan Dao Society, and now we can only see the boxes and see the people who are darts, I am afraid that they have ......."
As soon as she said this, Dai Qinglian suddenly screamed.
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly looked over, only to see that the monks who were closing their eyes and chanting the sutras had all opened their eyes at this time, and all eyes were staring. The humming chanting was gone, replaced by all sorts of unpleasant laughter.
"Not good!"
Fifth, Tingyun was stared at by those eyes, and he felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly moved the mirage technique to get away from here. But his body moved on weekdays, and he was already a few feet away at a thought, but at this time he was still in place, turning his head to look at the rest of the people, only to see that they were all frowning, not knowing what had happened.
At the same time, a dazzling white light flashed.
Fifth, Tingyun only felt a white expanse in front of him, and then felt his body sinking rapidly. This kind of sinking is not the kind of natural fall that flies into the air without a point of focus, but an uncomfortable accelerated fall, like someone pressing down on the top of the head and pulling desperately under the feet...... Although he was not familiar with this feeling, he had experienced it after all......
This is the effect of the action of the spatial elements!
He had been caught up in the turbulence of time and space and had narrowly escaped, so he still had lingering feelings about it.
Unable to see, he grabbed his hands behind his back and pulled out the Liren Sword and the Kunmu Sword. In this case, although I don't know what the hell the so-called Hundred Monks Puja is doing, it is certain that they are on the way not to deceive the little monk, and this so-called Hundred Sangha Puja once every few years seems to be specially prepared for them.
In the short time that the space element was in effect, he had already activated the Yuan Force and was ready for battle!
