Chapter 30: A Wind Change

The fire monkey and the others watched the Qingfa monk and the county lieutenant exchange their heads, their faces flattering, and they were very unhappy. But at this time, I couldn't say anything, so I had to wait for the Dharma to begin.

A bell rings, and the heavens and the earth are peaceful.

Master He stood up in response, came to the circular Dharma platform, folded his hands, said Amitabha, and continued with a solemn expression: "Emperor Wu Tianwei, the world is subjugated, the people's livelihood is prosperous, the heaven and the earth are peaceful, and the people are well-being, and enjoy the blessings.

"This is today's Emperor Wu's martial arts, opening up a prosperous era, and visiting Beizong Lingshan in person to pray for the people.

"Emperor Wu issued an edict to bestow grace, and the children of Buddhism will enjoy the glory together; and exempt from taxes and provide for themselves; and then open the door of convenience, and allow hundreds of officials in the world, but those who have good intentions to add oil and incense will all return to Shamen, in order to seek the blessing of the Buddha.

"This is the beginning of heaven and earth, the great grace of the king, the blessing of my Buddhism. Since then, the Buddhists have wanted to be reincarnated as monks for hundreds of generations, and the ancient Buddha of the green lantern has only prayed for the blessings of all sentient beings.

"But the world is chaotic, and there is a struggle. According to the battle of Gangwon alone, there was a river of blood and sins. The living wail and the dead whimper, which is a great misfortune in the world.

"I read that my Buddhism is grateful to the emperor, and I can't reciprocate. Set up a great Lent Jiao today, for the undead to be exceeded, early reincarnation, and return the world to a clean and peaceful place, and do a small part of the Shamen. Amitabha. ”

Everyone listened to Master He's sometimes passionate and sometimes depressed words, and their hearts were full of emotion.

Only the county lieutenant sneered, and the Taoist priests scattered around the Dharma platform, their faces were very gloomy, as if there was something in what Master He said that angered them.

At the signal of Master Na He, the bronze bell rang again, and the ritual finally began.

One hundred and eight enlightened monks, starting from the Huayan Sutra, expounded on cause and effect, thought about reincarnation, and transcended sentient beings.

One hundred and eight kinds of sounds converged, gathering the beating of one hundred and eight wooden fish, or occasionally with the gongs and cymbals of other monks under the Dharma stage, and suddenly, the sound of the brass trumpet whined, and the sound of the Dharma was poured into everyone's ears, buzzing, and shaking the heart.

At this moment, the sunlight seems to change from colorless blazing heat to golden light all over the ground, penetrating the shadow of the ancient camphor tree, such as the light of the Buddha in the sky, cast on the heads and shoulders of everyone, shining, magnificent and solemn, solemn and respectful, exuding the atmosphere of Buddhism.

I don't know why, Yifeng listened to it in his ears, and at this time, countless scripture recitations and wooden fish struck him like fists in his heart, hitting Ziquan in his dantian.

What's even more strange is that the spiritual liquid of the Buddha Gate that he had continued to cultivate before, and the golden spiritual liquid brought to him by the treasure magic conch suddenly stirred up a raging tide in his body, gushing out of Ziquan like water from a broken embankment, flowing through the meridians in his body, converging into the head divine court, and then pouring into the Pure Land, nourishing the wisdom root in the Pure Land, and then overflowing from it in a moment, and then returning to Ziquan through the meridians.

Yifeng was shocked in his heart, he didn't run the exercises, how could the exercises run on their own?

However, the amount of the Buddha Gate Spiritual Liquid and the Golden Spiritual Liquid in his body became much smaller after nourishing the Pure Land Hui Root, but the Divine Court Pure Land at the head was loosened, and the Hui Root seemed to be about to drill out of the Pure Land! This was the prelude to the germination of the Hui Root!

The growth of Huigen also means a breakthrough in the realm, but at this moment, it must only be a loose small realm in the Hinayana realm, and there is still a long way to go if you want to break through to the Yuyana realm!

Yifeng's heart was excited, joyful, and uneasy at the moment. Because the meridians of his body also expanded, the blood vessels opened, and the qi and blood surged, and he suddenly felt itchy and painful all over his body.

Dizzy for a while, his body couldn't support it, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hands and hold the shoulders of the fire monkey standing in front of him.

The fire monkey turned around, and saw that this little junior brother's blood was flushed and his face was painful, so he hurriedly supported him and said, "Yifeng, what's wrong with you?"

Shuli and Xiugu also noticed the abnormality of Yifeng, and they all gathered around with concern.

Shuli stretched out his hand and grabbed Yifeng's wrist, feeling the surging power of the spiritual power fluctuations in his body, and his heart was shocked.

But before he had time to think about it, he accumulated his spiritual power and poured it into Yifeng's body from his wrist, wanting to help him calm the manic spiritual fluid in his body.

But he didn't expect that as soon as Shuli's spiritual power reached his body, it was like a sheep entering a wolf pack, the rain fell on the sea, and it was rudely swallowed by the storm in Yifeng's body, and disappeared without a trace in an instant!

You must know that Shuli is the Buddha light realm of the Hinayana realm, and you are one step away from entering the Great Perfection of the Hinayana realm, and the spiritual power in the body is very huge, which can be said to be several times that of a wind.

But now he has instilled nearly half of his spiritual power to appease Yifeng, and the huge spiritual power is like a mud cow entering the sea, which can't help but make him feel very shocked.

At this time, Yifeng blushed and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, don't pass on the spiritual power to me, I will suck it up, and after a while, it will be fine." ”

Although Ichikaze knew very well what had happened in his body, he didn't know why.

Even if he said so himself, as the chanting on the altar became louder and louder, Yifeng's hand holding the fire monkey became tighter and tighter.

Just when the fire monkey and the others were at a loss and were about to attract the attention of the army in front, the golden conch wrapped in the Yingluo on Yifeng's chest suddenly emitted a faint golden light at this moment, as if responding to the sound of chanting, flashing and extinguishing.

Yifeng seemed to have received the help of the conch, his face gradually calmed, and he gradually let go of the hand that was gripping the fire monkey's shoulder, and leaned on his shoulder in collapse.

The fire monkey and the others hurriedly moved Yifeng from the side of the altar to the ancient camphor tree.

Under the big tree, there was a circle of marble steps, and many people sat there to watch the ceremony, but when they saw Yifeng's sick appearance, they all got out of the way and let Yifeng sit down.

Yifeng sat stumbling, his hands on his knees, feeling the tide of spiritual fluid surging due to the sound of chanting and the sound of wooden fish, and the conch in his chest was like an abyss, absorbing the huge energy generated by this madness, so that his body gradually calmed down.

However, the light of the conch on Yifeng's chest was too conspicuous, and the fire monkey stood in front of Yifeng intentionally or unintentionally, while Shuli and Xiugu sat next to Yifeng, always paying attention to his state.

However, in the crowd in the distance, there were several pairs of eyes staring at them, but they didn't immediately squeeze over to take a closer look, but they obviously felt the violent fluctuations in their spiritual power, and glanced here a few times from time to time.

On the stands next to the Dharma platform, the elders were also aware of it and looked around, but because the body of the fire monkey blocked it, they didn't notice anything unusual.

"What the hell is going on?" Xiu Gu asked with a crying voice, looking very anxious.

Yifeng's ears moved, although he was closing his eyes to recuperate, but when he heard the restless words of the little senior sister, he endured the severe pain in his body, closed his eyes tightly, and said:

"Little Senior Sister, I'm fine, maybe, maybe it's because I drank those golden spiritual liquids, no, I didn't digest them, and suddenly I heard these chanting wooden fish numbers, and the power of the spiritual liquid dissolved, I, I run the exercises, digest it, it's fine, don't, don't worry." ”

Shuli shook her head slightly at Xiu Gu, who understood and nodded obediently.

Finally, with the ringing of another bell, the Lent Jiao ceremony came to an end.

When the bell fell, the voices of the people were boiling, all discussing the grandeur of the Dharma just now, and the devout Buddhists immediately knelt on the ground to pray and pray, and a large number of figures knelt down around the Dharma platform.

The fat-headed, big-eared elder Nasu stood up, dressed in a shining brocade robe, walked slowly to the stands, and said to the monks and ordinary people:

"Today's Lent Jiao in our temple, Xu Hongtian's wish, eliminating karma, and overcoming suffering, is really the wish of all sentient beings, and it is also the fate of Buddhism. However, what the abbot said was only half of today's matter, and the other half was announced by the old man.

As we all know, the abbot of Qingping Temple is elected every five years, and the person who is highly respected, proficient in Buddhism, and has a deep Buddhist relationship is elected to plan for the future of Qingping Temple and sweep the fate of Buddhism purely.

"It's just that Senior Brother He has been elected abbot for four years, and there is still one year before the next abbot can be elected, so it should not be held today. ”

Elder Nasu paused, looked at Abbot He behind him, Abbot He closed his eyes tightly, looked sad, and did not say a word.

Elder Nasu sneered: "But in the battle of Yunzhou according to Jiangyuan, the Xuanyin faction and the calligraphers competed for power, killing each other, and the lives were ruined.

"In the spirit of saving the world and helping people, I sent people to follow the monks of Nanzong Temple to mediate on the battlefield, but they were helplessly involved in disputes and suffered heavy casualties.

"The three elders of Qingping Temple, the four elders, led their disciples to visit the Buddha with their bodies, but they died. The abbot brother felt deeply ashamed, and it was inconvenient to be the abbot again, so the abbot of Qingping Temple was specially selected today. ”

The people who believed in Buddhism kneeling in the audience raised their heads one after another, turned their heads to ear, and shouted noisily, they also heard about this matter for the first time in Qingping Temple, according to the war in Jiangyuan, they also heard about it, but they didn't expect that Qingping Temple was also involved in it, and the election of the abbot was also related to this.

When Elder Nasu said this, he turned his head to look at the two disciples standing behind him, and several elders who were watching the ceremony, stretched out his arms and pressed down, and the people in the audience instantly calmed down, he nodded with satisfaction, and continued:

"The old man and the abbot discussed with each other, and now although the country is peaceful and peaceful, the young people still exist, and they often make trouble. Therefore, it is hereby agreed that the person who is running for the abbot this time, in addition to the Buddha's firm heart and profound Dharma, should also have strong mana and supernatural powers to convince the public.

"The two disciples behind the old man are the people who are running for the abbot election, the disciples of Qingning, who have worshiped Buddhism since childhood, and have devoted themselves to practicing Buddhism with the abbot brother. ”

Qing Ning's face seemed to be displeased, after all, his master had to pay the price for what happened in Qingping Temple. But he still folded his hands and bowed slightly to Elder Nasu.

Nasu continued: "Disciples of the Qing Dharma, enlightened in the mortal dust, saw the nature and believed in it, and practiced with the old man after escaping into the empty gate. Since entering Qingping Temple to practice Buddhism, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has cultivated to the great consummation of the Buddha's Hinayana realm and the Buddha's light realm, and is the first young disciple under the sect.

"This son is rigorous, meticulously studies Buddhism, disciplines himself and admonishes others, and is admired by the disciples of this temple.

In addition, according to the battle of Gangwon, Qingfa went with the elders of this temple to make a grand wish to save sentient beings, but the world is so heavy that it is not possible to achieve it.

"What is commendable is that he got involved in the battlefield, tried his best, fought to the death for the Buddha's way, and was able to bring back the remains of the elders and disciples of this temple alone. The poor monks and the elders in the temple were very grateful, so they had the opportunity to help those elder disciples who died in vain on the battlefield and ascend to Bliss as soon as possible. ”

Qingfa's face was very proud, but he didn't forget to fold his hands and salute Elder Nasu.

"It's just a deserter who muddies the waters. ”

A voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the fire monkey and the others, and they turned their heads to see that it was a middle-aged scholar-like figure, and the scholar who was like a few treasures and told the story just now, the temperament was very similar.

The fire monkey immediately sensed that this person's cultivation was extraordinary, this person had a hard face, resolute eyes, dressed in a white robe, neatly dressed, with a sword hanging on his side, and his demeanor was chic and magnificent, but there was another kind of rebellion.

The one standing next to him was familiar, it turned out to be a young scholar who had just introduced the two mages to them, and they were indeed together!

Now it seems that they were dressed in the same white scholar's clothes, with beautiful swords, and with a good demeanor. At this time, the young scholar stood behind the middle-aged scholar, very respectful.

However, when he came into contact with the eyes of the fire monkey and others, the young scholar had gentle eyes and smiled slightly, which was very friendly.

Forget about others, but when Shuli saw the two of them, he had a bad premonition in his heart, this kind of temperament, this kind of demeanor, he couldn't be more familiar!

Sure enough, I only heard the young scholar, with a smile on his face, and greeted him politely:

"Senior brother, how are you doing lately?"
