Chapter Seventy-Five: Qinglianhua

A mountain flies, and a thousand peaks are steep. Facing the Luohan belly of the clouds and the clouds, the incense burner peak of the Yinquan Waterfall, a century-old ancient temple lying in the incense valley, the red wall and blue tiles, and the Fanyu towering, this is the Pure Land Ancestral Garden...... Donglin Temple.

In terms of scale, this temple is a few points larger than the Miyin Temple where he practiced.

Ji Bo stood at the door, and after waiting for a long time, a monk with a proud expression came over.

"Pending orders or begging?"

The tone revealed impatience, although it had been gradientd, there was indeed no peace between the eyebrows, just like an ordinary ordinary man.

"I didn't expect that the dignified Pure Land Ancestral Court had already fallen to such a point, and such a person with six impure roots would be able to enter, crying out and sighing!"

When Ji Bo saw someone coming, Jun Junxiu, who was hiding under the hat, couldn't help shaking his head, but there was no politeness in his mouth.

"It's called Hanako, who are you talking about!"

The undisguised words made the already impatient monk frown. The huge fists were clenched, and he kept gesturing at Ji Game, who looked thin.

"It's good to learn martial arts, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to cultivate a trace of Buddhism, in the final analysis, I'm just an ordinary man. ”

"Look for death, look at my Demon Fist!"

The monk's brows furrowed, anger covering his entire face, and a fist as big as a sandbag smashed towards Ji Bo's head under his hat with a whistling wind.

"To make a move is to target the vital point, why did the Pure Land Sect accept a disciple like you who has no compassion?"

Ji Bo sighed slightly, and the gray-black flat food vessel in his hand suddenly bloomed with crystal pure Buddha light, and with a light roll, the monk in front of him had disappeared out of thin air.

"Youkai......"

Not far away, there was originally a lazy monk watching with a smile. Suddenly, Ji Game turned a big living person into nothing, and he hadn't opened the six senses, and he couldn't see the Buddha's light because he hadn't cultivated enough, and regarded it as a demon law. Screaming in horror, he pulled his legs and ran.

In this regard, Ji Bo just shook his head slightly, as if he was lamenting the decline of a great Buddhist sect.

As the only Buddhist sect that was once comparable to Zen Buddhism, the Pure Land sect has gradually declined since the demise of the Fifth Patriarch Shaokang several decades ago.

Although the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism have also died out, at least Nanyue Huairang, Qingyuan Xingsi and others are all high-ranking monks and self-reliant.

In particular, Baizhang Huaihai, after the establishment of the "Baizhang Qing Rules", created a prosperous era of Zen Buddhism with the ten-party jungle system.

Only the Pure Land sect. In the past ten years, it has been controlled by some mediocre people, blindly expanding the scale of the monks, teaching Buddhism, and trying to find the sixth ancestor of the Pure Land by casting a wide net and reviving the Pure Land sect.

It's a pity that blindly teaching the Dharma and recruiting disciples will be the consequences. It is to make the Pure Land sect even more declining.

The good and bad monks have ruined the reputation that the five ancestors of the Pure Land sect, Shaokang, once accumulated, and in recent years, due to the extreme prosperity of Zen Buddhism, it has lost its former fame.

But. Emaciated camels are bigger than horses.

Although the Pure Land sect declined, after all, it was once the only sect in Buddhism that could compete with Zen Buddhism, and the "Pure Land Faith" Dafa that spread is even more wonderful.

In the Donglin Temple, which is the ancestral court of the Pure Land, there is a Buddha treasure that the world desires.

The day when Donglin Temple was built in the past. Master Huiyuan personally planted a lotus seed from the Pure Land of the Western Heavens.

Today, hundreds of years ago, in front of the round dragon pillar of the magnificent Tianwang Hall of Donglin Temple, this lotus seed turned into a lotus pond. It has become the most precious Buddha treasure of the Pure Land sect.

The lotus flower has an indissoluble bond with Buddhism, and it is associated with many legends of Shakyamuni.

The color of the lotus flower in the Buddhist scriptures is divided into five colors: white, blue, red, purple and yellow, which are called "five kinds of Tianhua", of which white and blue are the most noble.

The grade of the lotus flower can be divided into three kinds according to the number of lotus petals, which are "Renhua", "Tianhua" and "Bodhisattva Hua".

As the name suggests, the lotus flower with only a dozen petals is a mundane thing, which can only be used for ornamental purposes and is of little use for practicing Buddhism.

The lotus flower with hundreds of petals is "Tianhua", and it is also the treasure that every Buddhist disciple dreams of, containing a pure and pure meaning.

When you meditate, you can put it around you, whether it is practicing the Dharma or contemplating the Void Dharma Realm, you can get twice the result with half the effort. It is even effective in resisting demons, and if you cultivate it with your own Buddha power for a long time, you can become a protective treasure.

Donglin white lotus, the flower color is blue and white, plump and fragrant, each flower has more than 130 petals, that is to say, each lotus flower in the lotus pond is the prototype of the magic weapon. It can be described as extremely precious and can be called the first sacred pool of Buddhism.

But this is not the most critical, what Ji Game looks at is the "Bodhisattva Hua" in the lotus pond, one ancestor and one flower.

The lotus flower with thousands of petals is the most revered "Bodhisattva Hua" in Buddhism, that is, the so-called Buddha Lotus, and it is also a symbol of the Buddha.

Legend has it that the thousand-petal lotus flower is only born in the Buddha country Ayunda Pond, which is difficult to see in the world, so it is also called "rare flower".

The Buddhist scriptures say: Shakyamuni's tongue is shining with a thousand golden lights, each golden intersection into a thousand leaves of white lotus, each white lotus contains a kind of Bodhi fruit to become a Buddha.

Therefore, the Chiba lotus is a symbol of the Buddha and a Buddha treasure that does not belong to the world.

In the lotus pond of Donglin Temple, the reason why the lotus seeds planted by Master Huiyuan himself are said to come from the Pure Land of the West Heaven is because there were four "green lotus flowers" with 999 petals.

The word "green lotus flower" comes from the "Myoho-renge-kyo Sutra", Sanskrit is the Yutan bowl Hua, the Youtan bowl Luohua, the leaves are narrow and long, close to the bottom of the small round, to the upper point of the head, the blue and white are distinct, the shape is similar to the eye, Buddhism symbolizes the Bodhisattva Buddha eye, so the eyes of the Buddha and the Bodhisattva are called "lotus eyes".

For this reason, the Pure Land sect is also called the "Lotus Sect".

Since Master Huiyuan planted this lotus seed in Donglin Temple, every ten or nearly a hundred years, a monk will come to Donglin Temple to pick away the blooming "green lotus flower".

And every monk who can make the "Blue Lotus Flower" bloom is the ancestor of the Pure Land Sect.

From the Pure Land Second Ancestor Shandao, the Third Ancestor Chengyuan, the Fourth Ancestor Fazhao, and the recent Fifth Ancestor Shaokang, this is all the case.

It can be said that the significance of this "green lotus flower" to the Pure Land sect is equivalent to the heart seal of the ancestor of Zen Buddhism.

After learning about this rumor. Ji Game was curious, so he wanted to come to Donglin Temple to see the most precious "Qinglian Flower" of the Pure Land Sect.

It just so happened that he had obtained a blessed source treasure land, and he needed to transform it into a pure land to gather faith, and he lacked a Buddha treasure to suppress the earth's leyline vitality and guide sentient beings to believe.

And there is no Buddha treasure more suitable than the "Qinglianhua" of Donglin Temple.

"The master is also really, and the teacher will not send a few Buddha treasures, otherwise why would I come to Donglin Temple to fight the idea of 'Qinglianhua'. ”

Ji game operation "Ruyitong", between three steps. It was already before the most magnificent and huge Heavenly King Palace.

One side of the lotus pond, particularly eye-catching, Lushan clear spring into the pool, lotus pond luxuriant show, clear water and white flowers reflect each other, the rockery in the pond stands clay sculpture dripping water Guanyin, the face is kind, overlooking the mountain gate.

The blue-white lotus flowers are in full bloom and bloom with a refreshing fragrance. made Ji Game feel that his Yuan Shen was clear, and he couldn't help but be open-minded and read out a poem to express his feelings.

"Donglin North Reservoir, Zhanzhan sees the bottom clear. Medium-born white hibiscus, 300 stems of Hanhan. The day shines brightly, and the fragrance is scattered. The pool incense silver sac is broken, and the jade plate is poured ......"

It's a pity. His good mood was destroyed before it lasted a few minutes.

"What people. How dare you trespass on the Lotus Flower Sacred Pool!"

A tall, thin monk with a gloomy face led more than 300 monks with sticks to surround Ji Bo, who was standing in front of the lotus pond.

"The one who dares to ask is Master Yucheng, the host of Donglin Temple. ”

Ji Bo didn't take off the hat he wore on his head, but a layer of crystal light bloomed from top to bottom of his body, which made the faces of the visitors change greatly.

At a glance, among the more than 300 monks in Donglin Temple, only the three old monks led by them shined with the Buddha's light that made Ji Game look into his eyes.

The rest of the disciples and elders, the Buddha light on their bodies was dim, even mottled and messy, and even there was black qi in their eyebrows.

"No matter who you are, since you dare to trespass on the Holy Pool, I must take you down. ”

The head of the master Yucheng has a gloomy face, gray hair, and his eyes shine with the five aggregate emotions of a worldly person. The tin staff in his hand is inlaid with gold and silver jade, shining in the sun, eye-catching.

What a "Taoist monk"!

"Mida Pure Land Demon Suppression Array!"

At the sound of an order, more than 300 monks waved the sticks in their hands and aimed at Ji Yi, who was standing in front of the lotus pond from all directions.

Master Yucheng waved the shining tin staff in his hand, urging the earthly veins under the Donglin Temple, as well as the power of belief accumulated over hundreds of years.

In the immeasurable Buddha's shining light, Ji Game only felt that he had left the world and came to a pure land. Pure and strict decoration, vertical and wide is waiting for hundreds of thousands of more than that, with the gold of the Ministry and its land, flat and soft, like the fragrance of heaven. There are no bad tastes or women's names, and no rubble, sand, stones, and thorns. Treasure tree ranks, Huaguo flourishes. There are many baths, all of which are decorated with gold and silver pearls and miscellaneous treasures.

What surprised him the most was that in the center of this Pure Land was actually a huge lotus pond of the Seven Treasures of Merit. Every lotus flower is in full bloom, all of which are thousands of petals and leaves, and a little Bodhisattva with crossed feet and feet on the ground comes out.

One flower, one Bodhisattva, one lotus and one pure land!

"Nan Wu Amitabha, this array is very interesting!"

Surrounded by a large array, Ji Game's expression remained unchanged, admiring this pure land calmly. The extremely ordinary food utensils in his hand bloomed under the infusion of his crystal pure Buddha light, and a circle of Qingsheng Golden Wheels bloomed, isolating the power of the great array.

And at this time, a burst of fragrance that seemed to be the clearest in the world came into the ears and noses of everyone present.

The earthly vein vitality and the mental power of all living beings within a radius of thousands of miles suppressed by Donglin Temple exploded in an instant, and then was swallowed up by a bottomless abyss, and in the pure holy light in the sky, the great array automatically disintegrated.

A huge blue-white lotus flower appeared out of thin air in the middle of the pond in front of Ji Bo.

One by one, the fragrant and pure lotus leaves bloomed, and a pure land full of countless joys appeared in front of everyone's eyes, as if they had come to the Pure Land of the Western Heavens, full of joy. (To be continued......)
