Chapter 169 The Nameless Mountain South and the North of the Rice Lake

Previous Chapter

It was another gentle spring rain, and under the sky, a big mountain stood majestically, which was particularly clear.

The gentle slopes of the mountains are covered with picturesque grass, and the streams loom in the paintings, which pass through the clouds, over the mountains, and over countless flowers, trees, and rice paddies before converging into a lake.

Although the mountain is nameless, this lake is famous, and it is called Rice Lake.

To the south of the nameless mountain, to the north of the Rice Lake, this place hidden in the red dust and turbidity world is the Pure Land!

In the light mist of flowers and trees in the mountains, the soft rain falls on the white courtyard wall, as if to wash away the dust of eternity, the courtyard wall is wide, and the corridors and buildings inside are covered by clouds and lush greenery.

In the pavilion behind the mountain, a middle-aged man had an indisputable Qingjun Ninghe between his eyebrows, he looked up at the branches in the rain curtain and sighed softly.

"If the world is in chaos, how can you come to the Pure Land!" An old monk beside the stone table lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, fiddling with the Buddha beads in his hand, but he did not speak, but a voice overflowed, "The six flavors of immortal fire in the south have all found a host, the eyes of the worlds have been destroyed, the forbidden land will appear sooner or later, although the Pure Land is sheltered from the world, how can it be avoided." ”

The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm, and he said: "The Buddha talks about Pudu sentient beings, and the master, as the first Buddha Hall of Beike Temple, will inevitably have the common people in his heart and do good deeds in the world, but I am only a academy here, and educating people is the truth." ”

"Amitabha!" the old monk raised his head and said, "It seems that the dean is still worried about the Broken Sky Cliff back then." ”

The middle-aged man shook his robe slightly, and said calmly: "The master knows that after the battle of the temple, there is a grudge against our academy in this world, so there is naturally a gap between the academy and the world!"

The old monk's expression became a little solemn, and after a long time, a pure and rich Buddha sigh came out, and then his voice rose leisurely: "Beike Temple is willing to use three divine weapons to resolve the grievances between the world and the academy." ”

The middle-aged man looked at the old monk, his face was still peaceful, but he slowly stretched out his five fingers and waved them lightly in the slanting wind and drizzle of the pavilion.

The old monk's expression became slightly gloomy, he pronounced a Buddha name, and also slowly raised his right palm, and suddenly there seemed to be a golden light from the pavilion, and the Buddha's mind was floating, this palm was like gold and jade, but the thumb had already been cut off.

The middle-aged man looked at the palm of his hand and smiled slightly, "Beike Temple is a good deed, and if you quarrel again, it will be disrespectful to the first one." ”

"The sons have been suppressed for thousands of years, the demon path has disappeared, but the demon heart is not lost, and now the forbidden land is about to be lifted, who dares to guarantee that the temple will not repeat itself. The old monk's long eyebrows raised slightly.

"The master is a Buddhist monk, but he often talks about everything in the old age, how to be worthy of the golden body of the Buddha in front of the incense. The middle-aged man looked displeased, and continued, "Since the master has promised four divine weapons, you might as well talk about what Beike Temple needs the academy to do." ”

"The Pure Land was born, and Hui Xianjun was in Daohu!" the first seat of the Buddha Hall was folded on his chest, and he said, "After all, Beike Temple is the land of Buddhism, and the South Gate Temple belongs to the Taoist Gate, so there are only two houses in the Pure Land that can do this." ”

The middle-aged man groaned for a moment and asked, "What is a virtuous man?"

"Those who hold divine weapons, enter the Pure Land!" the first seat of the Buddha Hall narrowed his eyes under his long eyebrows, and the murmuring sound floated out like silk, "The Buddha has a last word, the seventy-two divine weapons in the Honghuang Hall are the keys to the forbidden land. ”

Leaving the pavilion outside the wind and rain, the middle-aged man was silent, what year did the Buddha originate, how could the Buddha know about the forbidden land, could it be said that the little-known legend is true?

It is said that in the great war in the primeval times, the sons were finally exterminated in the forbidden land, and although the ancestor won, but exhausted his life, when passing through the unknown land, he meditated under the Bodhi tree for forty-nine days, remembering his life and seeing his true self......

The originator, the Buddha?

The Unknowable Land, the Pure Land?

Bodhi Tree, Beike Temple?

......

......

The spring rain gradually stopped, and he was far away from the first seat of the Buddha Hall in the pavilion, and beside the stone table, a young scholar was picking up the tea cup that was still warm, his hair bun was coiled high, and his movements were gentle, looking meticulous.

Under the eaves of the pavilion, the middle-aged man withdrew his gaze from the Qingluan in the distance and asked, "Do you think I am a little disrespectful to the first Buddha hall of Beike Temple?"

"It's a little bit. The scholar slowed down the movements of his hand, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, "This is because you are still thinking about the little junior brother, but back then, on the Broken Sky Cliff, this first seat should have done his best." ”

"Did you do your best?" the middle-aged man twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly, "If he really tries his best, your little junior brother can still jump off the Broken Sky Cliff!"

......

The spring rain stopped, and in the gentle mountain breeze, the finches in the forest began to flutter their wings and fly high, they flew towards the rice lake, flew to the mountains, and flew to the wider sky.

Compared to the academy hidden in the green hills in the east, this domed building in the west looks much grander.

As night fell, Dean Braman of Xizhou Seminary stood on the huge terrace and finished his last prayer of the day, he looked at the cold stars under the sky, and said to Daos beside him: "I heard that Beike Temple has a magic that can open the eyes of heaven and see the unknowable future, I don't know if it's true?"

"The Almighty Creator could not have allowed such a thing to happen. Dawes's eyes shone brown under the cloak, and the former worldwalker of the temple still had a youthful face.

Dean Brahman nodded, his voice slightly hoarse: "The six sacred flames have left the southern land, and a dangerous place is about to descend on the earth, the first seat of the Buddha Hall of Beike Temple came to me a few days ago, and he hopes that the door of our temple will be open to the world again. ”

In the cloak, Dawes seemed to think of something important in silence, and there was a hint of joy in his brown eyes at this time: "It seems that the gods are helping us." ”

A thick smile appeared on Braman's face, and he whispered, "Yes, this is an opportunity, the Holy Maiden has been in the world for too long, she should return here to be baptized by the Light!"

Dawes said solemnly: "This is the honor of the Rayayas, the supreme glory of Prince Upton, and the will of the gods. ”

"I'm a little jealous of this old fellow now, the monument of the Empire has his name engraved on it, so it's a gift from the gods," Braman laughed, "If I can have such a granddaughter, I would be willing to die on the battlefield of the Empire." ”

Dawes lifted his cloak and cap, knelt gracefully on the ground, and asked excitedly and respectfully, "Lord Braman, what can I do?"

Dean Brahman put away his smile, looked at him expressionlessly, and said after a moment of silence: "You are the world's walker of the temple, and you can stay out of the temple affairs back then because you have a more important mission to complete, now, go ahead, follow the instructions of the gods, and bring the holy woman over." ”

Brahman's hoarse voice was slightly excited, "No, it should be please come back!"

Dawes stood up, bowed to Dean Braman, and faded into the hall behind the terrace.

Dean Brahman finally regained his usual indifference, and he began to cast his gaze back on the endless starry sky, muttering in a slightly sarcastic voice, "Why do we do these things if the future is knowable, and why do we do these things if the future is unknowable." ”

......

The south of the nameless mountain, the north of the rice lake, is the pure land.

There aren't many people in the world who have this place, and even if you knew, you wouldn't be able to find it.

Rice Lake is a lake, but the world looks at it like the sea.

At this time, in front of an inconspicuous thatched hut on the north side of Daohu Lake, a middle-aged Taoist was fishing near the lake, and his figure was slightly fat, making the simple Taoist robe look a little ill-fitting.

The lake breeze blew, and a Taoist boy came to the thatched hut, and he walked behind the Taoist and knelt down respectfully.

"Half a month ago, the first Buddha Hall of Beike Temple went to the temple in the West, and yesterday, this first seat appeared in the academy. ”

The middle-aged Taoist didn't look back, and he didn't even move the hand holding the fishing rod, he just stared at the fish drift on the lake, and said softly: "Beike Temple wants to help the world in danger, but I don't know that the Pure Land is not another danger in the world." ”

Dao Tong didn't get up, but looked at the back of the Taoist and asked, "Lord, will the first master come to our south gate to watch?"

The Taoist shook his head: "The Pure Land is an unknowable place, like sitting on the clouds, and my Daomen adheres to the will of heaven, cultivates ruthlessly, and does nothing, how can Beike Temple be boring." ”

"But the two houses will not appear in the world because of a few words from Beike Temple. ”

"The foundation of the academy is in Xizhou, which they can't hide, as for the academy ......" the Taoist frowned slightly, and said calmly, "I read a lot of books, naturally pedantic, they like to reason the most, and helping the world is the biggest truth in the world." ”

"No wonder the temple incident happened, Li Bu ......"

Dao Tong nodded, but before he could finish his words, a strong smell of blood suddenly gushed out of his throat, and Dao Tong couldn't help but open his mouth, only to see a silver wire pulling half of his tongue, cutting the void, and appearing in the spring breeze by the lake,

The silver wire is the fishing line in the hands of the Taoist, and the tongue is naturally the tongue of the Taoist.

The chubby figure on the shore of the lake did not look back from beginning to end, and the Taoist looked at the slightly flushed lake, and said indifferently: "After the temple, no one in the world mentions Li Buyi again, who do you think they are afraid of?"
