February 25, the birthday of Emperor Fengyan.

Dajian Temple.

On this day, the water and land puja was held very solemnly. It not only gathers one hundred and eight eminent monks from the Yanhuang Empire to give lectures, and four hundred and sixty monks from the temple come together, but also a total of seven altars inside and outside, which are dedicated to the Buddhas of the Ten Directions, Bodhisattvas, Yuanjue, Shengwen, Fudong Ming King, Tianlong Babu, Brahmin Immortals, Brahmin Immortals, Brahmin Emperor Shakti for 28 days, all the gods of the void, and the five mountains, rivers, seas, and earth dragon gods, ancient people, asuras, dependents of the underworld, hellish beings, resentful souls, ghosts and gods without owners, and the Dharma Realm, and believers are also gathered.

In addition to giving food, there are also monks who can chant sutras and hold mantras, which can make all sentient beings in the ten Dharma realms and six realms nourished by Dharma water, so that they can make good connections and achieve Buddha deeds together, and their merits are great.

The ritual is divided into an inner altar and an outer altar. At this time, the outer altar has been a gathering of believers, the outer altar has set up a total of six altars: the big altar, the scripture altar, the Fahua altar, the pure land altar, the Lengyan altar, the Huayan altar, by the six monks respectively ascended the altar, recited the scriptures, the monks and the letter together to confess, cultivate the blessing. Around the six outer altars, there were monks and believers of crows.

For a time, the six altars were chanted together, thousands of people worshipped, the Dharma*, the fragrance was lingering, the candles were burning, the golden bells were ringing, and thousands of red mandala flowers suddenly fell from the sky, splendid and boundless.

"Mandala from heaven, this is a good sign!" the monks exclaimed with joy.

Then the crowd bowed down again, muttering and chanting.

In the inner altar, however, it was extremely quiet, and the noise of the outer altar was faintly heard, and when it arrived, it became as small as a mosquito.

It is only because in the inner altar, there are three enchantments, which are divided into "local boundary", "square corner boundary" and "void boundary".

And the Guru Buddha Tucheng is sitting upright in the innermost third-party enchantment "Void Realm".

There is nothing in the "Void Realm", there are no incense flowers, lamps and candles, no Buddha statues, no rituals, only eight water mirrors are set up around it, and the people in the center are surrounded by groups.

The person in the center, in addition to Buddha Tucheng, also has a woman with the best appearance - Queen Yibi.

Although she is dressed up, her hair is full of gold hairpin ornaments, and she is wearing a long skirt of gold and silver silk and birds swaying towards the phoenix, but she can't hide the heroic spirit between her eyebrows, the majesty of the emperor and queen overlooking the mountains and rivers.

Empress Yibi and Emperor Fengyan were both born as warriors, and they once galloped hand in hand, conquered and killed the four fields, and made countless military exploits, and established a country on the horse, expanding the territory of the Yanhuang Empire to an unprecedented range, unifying the Fengyan Continent, and becoming an emperor and a queen through the ages.

At this time, she was clasping her hands together and respectfully praying in the sky.

After the three salutations, Empress Yibi got up and sat back on the futon, and looked up at the sky with phoenix eyes: "Master, I have bowed to all the Buddhas and saints in the sky on behalf of all sentient beings, why does the heavens not show good signs? Is it because the water and land rituals I hold are contrary to the teachings and cannot help all sentient beings? Or am I not clean enough, and the vajra is the wall, the glass is the ground, and the treasure is gorgeous is not grand enough to show the sincerity of our sentient beings?"

The white-clothed monk sitting opposite lowered his eyebrows and looked solemn: "Don't be anxious, the queen should be calm, and wait for the will of God." ”

Empress Yibi sat quietly for a while, and suddenly saw a small worm, from the thin chin of the high monk crawled over his cheeks and the bridge of his nose, and gradually climbed up his sword-like eyebrows, and the monk's eyebrows jumped sharply.

She couldn't help but flick her hand lightly, and with a finger of strong wind, the little insect was shot down and fell on the monk's futon.

Empress Yibi breathed a sigh of relief.

Buddha Tucheng opened his eyes at this time.

"Queen, you shouldn't have made a move. The monk sighed and said, "That little insect is just the condensation of countless resentful souls that died under you and Emperor Yanfeng in the early years, they should have entered reincarnation but stayed in the world for a long time and refused to leave, they could have used the power of the Dharma in this festival to dissolve their resentment and re-enter reincarnation, but you didn't want to be reopened by you!"

Empress Yibi was shocked.

She suddenly remembered that there was nothing in the "Void Realm", where did the little insect come from?

The little insect lying at the feet of the monk suddenly moved, and it came to life strangely, spread its wings, and flew towards Queen Yibi!

With a "bang", Queen Yibi has taken out the back sword and light saber hidden in the "spirit ruins", and cut the little insect in half with one sword!

A trace of black gas suddenly overflowed from the insect body, and the black gas became thicker and thicker, gradually forming a large black mist, enveloping Queen Yibi in it.

A voice came from the black mist: "Yibi, why are you here alone? What about that man of yours? Does he not want you anymore? Since you are the only one, the double swords of the emperor and queen who once frightened us are no longer useful, hahaha!"

That burst of laughter instantly turned into countless souls, as if countless resentful spirits were sneering viciously.

Empress Yibi's crisp and sharp voice came from the fog: "Although he didn't come, his sword came!"

With a "pop", the two sword lights crossed into a cross and cut out, the light shone brightly, cutting through the black fog, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the black fog suddenly dispersed, revealing the golden dress of Queen Yibi.

In her left and right hands, she holds two swords respectively, the emperor sword is too enlightened, and the back sword is set to light.

The two swords of the country shine with the light of the king.

The queen's eyes were as bright as the stars, and she regained a bit of her heroic posture of galloping across the field in the past: "Master, look, I have this emperor and queen double sword in my hand, the country is stable, and it lasts for ten thousand years, what kind of resentment are you afraid of it?"

Buddha Tucheng shook his head quietly, and only said: "Today is the birthday of Emperor Fengyan, why didn't he come?"

Empress Yibi's eyes dimmed: "It stands to reason that he should come to worship in person today, pray for the blessings of all the people, and provide disaster relief for all directions, but it's just a ......" She said slightly: "He drove in civilian clothes early in the morning and rushed to Yaoguang Mountain, and he needed to deal with some urgent matters and returned." ”

"What could be more important than a land and water conference?"

This sentence, Buddha Tucheng did not ask.

As the abbot of the Dajian Zen Temple of Huguo Temple, he knew that there were often many unknown secrets in the royal family.

Suddenly rain fell from the sky.

The rain is fine and dense, but it is not wet, floating in the "Void Realm", and outside the realm, there are still red flowers flying.

It was as if the edge of the barrier was covered by a transparent cover.

"The heavens have finally sent down a sign!" Empress Yibi sighed happily.

The white-clothed monk was silent, but his brows tightened even more.

Suddenly, the sound of water rushed all around.

With the sound of water, the water curtain on the octagonal water mirror around them suddenly flowed, and the pure colorless water curtain gradually flooded with flowing colors, and then, the picture gradually became clear.

On the water mirror, the fishing boat is singing softly, casting nets to catch fish, a little gold under the sun, and the blue sea is rippling.

On the water mirror on one side, the woodcutter is showing firewood, looking at the green mountains and the sky, and the mountains are looking up.

On one side of the water mirror, there is snow flying in the sky, hunters hunting, and snow on fire.

On the water mirror on one side, it shows that the market is bustling, and the hawkers are women and children, bargaining.

On the water mirror on one side, there are rocks piercing through the air, and the waves crashing on the shore, startling thousands of piles of snow.

On one side of the water mirror, visitors are like weaving, red men and green women, and the willow waves are full of warblers.

On the water mirror on one side, there is a smoke and rain tower, a sheng pipe and a flute, and a baby dancing.

On one side of the water mirror, it shows that the boat is on the blue water, the people swim in the painting, the river is a green Luo belt, and the mountains are like a hairpin.

The Bafang Water Mirror shows the eight directions of the Yanhuang Empire, the north and the south of the Yangtze River, the border fields and the Central Plains, the dignitaries and dignitaries, and the civilians in the countryside, a good picture of mountains and rivers, prosperous times, and peace and security of the country!

Even Queen Yibi couldn't help nodding secretly when she saw it, slightly relieved.

Although the Yanhuang Empire was established immediately, in the past 30 years, the emperor has been diligent and loving the people, sympathetic to the people, and has taken care of a huge piece of land in an orderly manner.

Although there are still races such as the Yu Clan, the Shadow Moon Clan, and the Yu Clan living on this Fengyan Continent, the Yanhuang Empire, which is dominated by the human race, has already occupied most of the territory, and its strength is unsurpassed.

And the only thing that bothered Empress Yibi was another continent across the sea - the empire on the Starfall Continent, the Zhenglan Empire.

The aborigines of this empire are a race that is a headache for all races - the demons.

The demon clan has always coveted the fertile and rich land of the Fengyan Continent, the military strength is extremely strong, and the demon lords of the past dynasties are all warlike, if it were not for the starfall continent and the Fengyan continent separated by a canghe strait, the army of the Zhenglan Empire is afraid that it has already landed on the border of the Yanhuang Empire, fought with it, and burned the beacon fire to the heart of the Yanhuang Empire - Sunny City!

It is said that it was the wish of the kings of the demon clan.

Therefore, on the one hand, the Yanhuang Empire had to start on its own development, focusing on farming and animal husbandry, and at the same time, it had to accumulate strength from time to time to prepare for a war with the Zhenglan Empire across the sea, and at the same time guard against the covetousness of those small surrounding countries.

Empress Yibi looked at the beautiful scenery presented in the Bafang Water Mirror, her originally tense face relaxed a little, and regained her calm, and with a "bang", the two swords of the emperor and queen were included in the spiritual ruins by her.

Buddha Tucheng clasped his hands together: "Queen, the rain in the sky, not the mandala flower, I am afraid it is not an auspicious omen, and the holy places of the Buddhas are going to be presented in this eight-sided water mirror, I am afraid it is not ......"

"What's not?" Queen Yibi looked displeased, just asked these four words, suddenly heard a "bang", it seemed to be a cracking sound, she quickly moved her eyes to one of the water mirrors, only to see that in the mirror, a small boat that was originally floating in the river was suddenly overturned by the waves, and in an instant the river was like waves, splashing as high as the green mountains on both sides!

What a horrible sight!

Queen Yibi's face changed greatly, and her eyes hurriedly moved to a water mirror next to her, only to see that in the water mirror, the men and women who were originally nestled under the willow tree were suddenly scattered by the water, and fled in horror, but the water seemed to have long legs, chasing them quickly, and instantly submerged those people, and the water even washed up to the top of the willow tree!

"This ...... What's going on?!" Empress Yibi muttered to herself, her eyes swept to the other six water mirrors again and again, and what she saw was-

The woodcutter was swept over by the water that suddenly rose from the ground, and the water soon rose halfway up the mountain, and only the load of wood floated!

The campfires in the snow were extinguished by the water, and the water quickly rushed through the snow, drowning both the hunter and the prey, and continued to rise!

The smoke and rain tower was destroyed by the flood, and people abandoned the sheng pipe and fled for their lives!

The rocks cracked, the bazaar suddenly poured into the tide, and the waves were like giant beasts, instantly engulfing the fishing boats, and in all directions, a miserable scene of chaos!

Everyone was running for their lives, but under this sudden flood, no one could escape for their lives!

"What is this, what is this?" Queen Yibi looked at her people, rivers and mountains, and was instantly swallowed up by pieces of floods, her eyes lost her mind for a moment, and she muttered to herself: "Flood beasts...... But even if it is a flood beast, it takes time for them to devour and eat people, why does that great flood come so quickly! It can drown our empire in all directions!"
