Luoyang City, White Horse Temple.

Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the White Horse Temple is quiet, only the patrolling warrior monks are still not sleeping, they are holding dozens of catties of water mill Zen staff, constantly patrolling in the temple.

These are the warrior monks in the White Horse Temple, also known as the monk soldiers, polishing the flesh since childhood, practicing martial arts, each can be one against ten, with them, the thieves in Luoyang City will not dare to fight the idea of the White Horse Temple.

A mosquito flew quietly by, easily avoiding the patrol of the warrior monks, and flew towards the White Horse Temple. "Strange, why didn't you hear the voices of Senior Brother Mingjing today?"

"Senior Brother Mingjing, they became crazy after seeing the pregnant woman, and when they passed by the East Wing these days, they could always hear them shouting, what kind of words such as knocking to see the Buddha and wanting to become a Buddha, tonight is surprisingly quiet."

"Maybe the abbot made a move, there is the abbot here, and the senior brother Mingjing will be fine!"

"Also, the abbot of Hui Chan has boundless power, it is an arhat in the sky who descends to earth, and with his old man's hand, I think the monster in that woman's belly will definitely be wiped out!"

"Isn't there a rumor that the child in the woman's womb is the reincarnation of the Buddha?"

"Hehe, if it is really the reincarnation of the Buddha, why did she just live in the West Wing with her front feet, and the golden body of the Buddha in the Daxiong Hall suddenly cracked? There is also the statue of the Bodhisattva in the west wing, which is also inexplicably cracked...

"Shhh, be cautious, this matter is not something we can discuss, just believe in the abbot, he is the power of the Yang God Realm, if he is really a demon, he can't escape his old man's Tianyantong!"

The patrolling warrior monks whispered, but they didn't notice that a small mosquito had been hovering above their heads for a long time, and then flew towards the west wing······

West Wing.

This was originally the residence of the little novice, but since a woman with a big belly moved in, all the novices have moved out, and there are warrior monks and monks who are in the way to guard it all night, and no one except the abbot is allowed to enter.

"Amitabha!"

The mellow and vast Buddha light flashed, and then a figure suddenly appeared in front of the door of the west wing, holding a gilded Zen staff, a red robe fluttering, a lion nose and a wide mouth, eyes like electricity, the skin on the face was faintly glowing with bright copper, there was a kind of King Kong descending to earth, not angry and self-threatening.

"I've seen the abbot!"

In an instant, all the monks, young and old, stood up and saluted, looking at the burly and majestic figure with great reverence.

The person who came is the abbot of the White Horse Temple, Master Hui Chan, he is nearly ninety years old, but he is strong and healthy, the spirit is strong, he has carried a thousand pounds of bell with one hand, and the magic power is even more unfathomable, and he is the Buddhist monk in the area of Luoyang!

Many people say that Master Hui Chan is an arhat from heaven, and after the end of his earthly practice, he will return to Lingshan to sit and enjoy the lotus platform.

"I've seen Senior Brother Abbot!"

A white-bearded old monk walked over and saluted to Hui Chan, he was the first Huitong in the Bodhi Temple, and he was also the highest person in the White Horse Temple in addition to Hui Chan, and the late realm of the Yin God.

"Senior brother, how is the situation of the Buddha Mother?"

Hui Chan asked as he turned the Buddha beads in his hand.

There are nine Buddha beads, each of which is as big as a goose egg, round and clear, like jade, flowing in the dark night with a faint golden light, and it is not ordinary at a glance.

Although Huitong is a junior brother, he looks much older than Huichan, he trembled and said: "Senior brother, the Buddha's mother often shouted that she was hungry at the beginning, but then she was so angry that she couldn't even speak, and she didn't know whether she was dead or alive inside. ”

After a pause, he wanted to speak and stopped: "Senior brother, she ····· Is it really the Mother of the Buddha? ”

Hui Chan said categorically: "Senior brother, there will be no mistake in Tianyantong, she must be the mother of the Buddha, as long as the Buddha is born, our Buddhism will be prosperous in the world!" ”

Huitong no longer spoke, but sighed silently in his heart.

Over the years, the senior brother seems to be majestic in the Luoyang area, and even issued a decree to respect the Buddha, but he knows that the arrogant senior brother is not satisfied with the current situation of the decline of Buddhism.

The senior brother is talented, the talent is peerless, in today's strong Daomen, to be able to fight a piece of the sky in Luoyang, leading the White Horse Temple to a strong and prosperous world, it is not easy, but it is limited to this.

Looking at the world, there are many talents in the Daomen, there are Zhang Zhiyan and Ye Fashan in the front, and Zhang Qianyang and Li Daoxuan in the back, which one is not a world-shattering talent?

Especially Li Daoxuan, who achieved the realm of Yang God at the age of a weak crown, shocked the world, and after hearing the news, the senior brother did not say a word for ten days.

The Taoist sect is becoming more and more prosperous, and the Buddhist gate is becoming more and more declining, which has become an obsession in the heart of the senior brother.

"But senior brother, if you want her to give birth to a Buddha, you must have enough elixir, the inventory in our temple has been used up, there are no demons near Luoyang now, and the demon tower can no longer refine the elixir!

If you want to have a spirit pill, you need to capture the demons into the demon tower and refine them into pills, but Luoyang has Hui Chan in charge, and the demons within a radius of hundreds of miles are dead and fleeing, and now they have long disappeared.

"It's okay, I've found the elixir."

Hui Chan was confident, and then walked towards the west wing.

Huitong accompanied him, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Senior brother, where did you get the elixir?" ”

Hui Chan glanced at him, did not speak, and was about to walk to a meditation room full of scriptures and charms, and suddenly stopped, and said, "Senior brother, you should stop here first, and I will go to see the Buddha Mother alone." ”

"Yes."

Hui Chan pushed open the door and walked in.

Huitong couldn't help but glance inside, and vaguely saw that behind the screen painted with the "Diamond Sutra", there was a figure bound by countless ropes, and his belly was bulging high, like a spider about to give birth.

I don't know why, the moment he saw that figure, Huitong felt that his Zen heart, which he had practiced for decades, was trembling slightly, and an indescribable emotion permeated his heart, as if a voice whispered in his ear, making him subconsciously take steps.

Syllable!

The door was slammed shut, which also made Huitong wake up suddenly, only to find that there was a cold sweat behind him.

A moment later, Hui Chan walked out of the room, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"The Buddha's mother is in a very good state after taking the elixir, depending on the situation, in another twenty days, and when the thirty-third day, the Buddha's mother will give birth to the Buddha's son, and at that time, it will be the day of my Buddha's great prosperity!"

"What Zhang Zhiyan and Li Daoxuan, in front of my Buddha, they are just ordinary people, Buddhism is thriving, it is a fixed number, and no one can stop it!"

Looking at the excited senior brother, Huitong had an ominous premonition in his heart for some reason, and he always felt that this matter was inexplicably weird, which made him a little uneasy.

"Senior brother, you haven't answered me yet, where did the elixir come from?"

Hui Chan glanced at him deeply and said: "Senior brother, the Buddha came to the world, this is a grand event that my Buddhism has not encountered for thousands of years, and any Buddhist disciple will do his best to promote this matter, even if he loses his life, he will not hesitate to do so!" ”

Huitong's body was shocked, as if he had thought of something, and said angrily: "Senior brother, you ······ Are you purifying them?

Sent to the Demon Tower? ”

Hui Chan closed his eyes, turned the Buddha beads in his hand, and said lightly: "It is also their luck to be able to sacrifice their lives to help the Buddha come to the world, and they are also willing to do this." ”

Huitong only felt that his whole body was chilling, and he knew them, but the best disciples of the White Horse Temple, only because he had seen the Buddha Mother, he fell into madness, he thought that the senior brother would come to the rescue, but he didn't want to, the senior brother actually sent them to the Demon Suppression Tower to refine the elixir!

For a while, Huitong felt that his senior brother had become extremely strange.

"Senior brother, are you crazy? Mingjing is your personal disciple, you ······ Have you also been influenced by that woman? ”

Huitong felt incredible, although the previous senior brother had a strong personality, he really loved the disciples of Buddhism, and would never do such a thing.

Hui Chan's voice was clear and firm.

"For the great prosperity of Buddhism, for the Buddha to come into the world, even if I can sacrifice, as my disciple, I should have this enlightenment!"

After a pause, he said again: "Senior brother, haven't you always wanted to meet the Buddha's mother?" Now you can go in, and when you see the Buddha Mother, you will understand. ”

Hui Tong said angrily: "What Buddha mother, I think she is a monster, today I will kill this demon, senior brother, I can't watch you make mistakes again and again!" ”

As he spoke, he rushed into the room where the Buddha's mother was kept, and the Buddha's light bloomed all around him, and his voice was murderous. "Demon, suffer--"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Huitong seemed to have seen some incredible scene, and his body was constantly trembling. Hui Chan turned the Buddha bead in his hand and said softly: "Amitabha! ”

A moment later.

Huitong walked out of the room, he closed the door very respectfully, and then knelt down and bowed three times and nine times, his voice was crisp and loud, and his forehead was swollen.

"Senior brother, if the elixir is not enough, please send me to the Demon Suppression Tower!"

Huitong's voice was pious and sincere, his expression was calm, and a faint Buddha light bloomed around him, as if he was enlightened.

"Don't worry, after the Buddha comes to the world, I will still serve, let the disciples enter the Demon Suppression Tower first."

When Huitong heard this, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, and he folded his hands and said, "In this case, let's start with my disciple Mingzheng and Mingzhi." ”

"Great goodness!"

Hui Chan nodded, and was about to continue to say something, but his brows furrowed, and the hand that turned the Buddha beads stopped. "Senior brother, what's wrong?"

Hui Chan stared at the dark night, and then shook his head and said, "Maybe I feel wrong, okay, the night is dark, junior brother, let's go back first." ”

·····.

Just after Hui Chan and Hui Tong left, a small mosquito quietly flew to the front of the chamber and transformed into a green-robed Taoist priest.

The gourd hangs from the waist, combs the bun, and a few strands of hair on the forehead flutter slightly in the wind, and the long body is jade, chic and dusty.

It's just that he is wearing a fox mask on his face, and he can't see his face clearly, but the eyes under the mask are shining with holy light, like the moon shooting over the cold river, and his posture is high.

The person who came was Li Daoxuan, after listening to the land lord about the Zhou family's maidservant, he keenly noticed that something was wrong, so he took the fox mask bought by Changle, entered Luoyang in the starry night, and sneaked into the White Horse Temple with the technique of seventy-two changes, wanting to see the Zhou family's maidservant.

The reason why he didn't reveal his identity and entered the White Horse Temple with great fanfare was also to avoid startling the snake, after all, sometimes he could see more clearly by hiding in the dark.

In addition, the abbot of Huichan of the White Horse Temple is, after all, a great monk in the late stage of the Yang God, and has a lot of prestige in Buddhism.

Whether it is the White Horse Temple, Maoshan Mountain, Longhu Mountain, these famous factions that have stood for thousands of years without falling, all have their own heritage, and their attitude towards the court is respectful but not submissive.

Although Li Daoxuan was able to suppress Huichan strongly, it was also possible to intensify the contradiction between Buddhism and Taoism, so he did not come to the door directly, but secretly explored the truth.

"Hehe, I want to see, what is the so-called Buddha Mother, which can make people change so drastically?"

Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand and pressed it on the door, with a hint of chill in his eyes.

He saw the appearance of Huitong just now, and the old monk who thought that the Buddha Mother was a monster a moment ago, after entering this house, he actually changed his appearance greatly, as if he had become a fanatical believer, and he didn't even want his own life and that of his disciples.

Regardless of whether the other party is a monster or a real Buddha, such demagoguery, Li Daoxuan will never tolerate it.

The door was slowly pushed open, and a fragrant wind wafted out from inside, like lotus flowers and sandalwood, which made people feel calm and have a faint sense of Zen after smelling it.

Li Daoxuan frowned slightly, this taste seemed to be something wrong.

When he walked into the wing, the first thing he saw was the screen full of scriptures, and under the candlelight, there was a hazy figure behind the screen, as if he was struggling slightly.

Li Daoxuan tried to open his heavenly eyes to see through the screen, but he didn't expect that the scriptures on it seemed to be aware of his peeping, blooming with dazzling Buddha light, blocking his sight.

The person who wrote this "Diamond Sutra" may have already stepped into the realm of arhats.

Li Daoxuan thought about it in his heart, then stepped forward, walked behind the screen, and looked at it, but he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.

I saw a naked woman tied up by five flowers, and the red rope that tied her had a strong bloody aura, as if she had been soaked in blood.

What's even more bizarre is that there are many mysterious scriptures written on the woman's body.

"After the age of 1,000, when a person who has violated the vows will reinstate the vows, Maitreya will live to be 84,000 years ·····old."

As Li Daoxuan silently recited the scriptures, an even more strange scene appeared, those scriptures seemed to be hot, exuding a golden-red light, like a red-hot soldering iron, making the naked woman's body generate green smoke.

"Ah!!h

The naked woman let out a scream of pain, and a grimace suddenly appeared on her high bulging belly, as if some baby wanted to burst out of her belly and stretch her belly wide.

A vast and ancient consciousness invaded Li Daoxuan's spiritual platform.

"Those who worship me are a thousand years old, those who kneel to me are ten thousand years old, and those who knock on me will be Bodhi!"

"Maitreya was born, King Ming was born, all Buddhas and dragons, all living beings, cattle and horses, all sat on the lotus platform..." Now that you see the future, why not worship? ”

Some people died, but not completely......
