Although he lost the protection of the caravan status, there was no way to do it, after all, the world was impermanent, and it was impossible to do what he wanted.

After resting and recuperating, everyone continued on the road, but fortunately, there was no shortage of money, and the corresponding food and water were prepared, and a few sand camels were rented to drive to the next city.

The northern desert area is barren and vast, and with the slow travel speed of the sand camels, it really depends on them to go to Lingshan, and the daylilies are cold when they arrive.

The real purpose of Lin Yan and the others was to transfer to a larger city and take a sand boat, so that they could arrive quickly, although it was not as hidden as the caravan, but it was fast!

Along the way, Lin Yan was also thinking about some things, about the nine-story pagoda that trapped Moxu - "Glazed Floating Tomb".

When he entered the pagoda, his realm was still relatively low, and it was mainly used for trials, so the gatekeepers below the ninth floor of the pagoda seemed to him now to be just a group of characters who could be suppressed with a flip.

But now that I think about it, the power of that stupa may not be more than that, it was just that his vision was not enough at that time to see clearly!

If you want to rescue Mo Xu, you have to enter the pagoda, in case you are caught in an urn by the Buddha Sect, and suppress it, then the fun will be great!

Fortunately, he had made a lot of preparations when he was in Chang'an, and he would not seem flustered in his heart.

It's just that riding a sand camel is boring all the way, so he can't help but miss the experience of riding the water spirit, such a comfortable mount, it's really unstoppable!

"It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift"! Today's Lin Yan is already a little unbearable for the sand camel's travel speed, but this is a desert, and it is not easy to go down to the ground and run wildly.

After arriving at the destination, the sand boat was successfully rented, and the travel speed was significantly improved.

Lin Yan and the others only said that they were going to Lingshan for a pilgrimage, and after giving a heavy bag of silver, the other party treated them as guests with a smile, and where would they check their identities too much!

There were relatively fixed locations along the way to supplement the needs, and after a long and boring journey, Lin Yan and his party finally arrived at the Buddha capital.

With the painting bones, Lin Yan naturally doesn't have to worry about the procedures required to enter the city, and he is happy to be the shopkeeper.

At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, it is naturally peaceful, and the prosperous scene gradually becomes charming, as if you are in the Pure Land of Bliss.

There are a large number of monks here, and as you walk the streets, you may meet a great monk every few steps.

For devout Buddhists, this is the holy place in their hearts, and listening to the teachings of the monks is their highest pursuit!

I found an inn in the city to live, the cost is not low, I should say that it is really worthy of the foot of Lingshan, every inch of land is gold!

Now that you're in the place, it's time to get down to business!

Lin Yan asked, "Have the other hall masters of Momen arrived?" ”

"According to the news that came, they have secretly infiltrated the city with some elite experts, just waiting for the time to come. ”

Lin Yan said: "When?" ”

"Ten days later, the Buddha Sect will hold a Dharma conference in Lingshan, and that will be our chance!" ”

Lin Yan nodded when he heard this.

……

Time passed in a hurry, and the time for the Dharma Conference was getting closer and closer, and there were many pilgrims from all over the northern desert in the city, and for a time there were some people overcrowded.

Buddhism has been operating in the Northern Desert for many years, and since it is called the "Buddha Country", the number of Buddhist believers in the entire Northern Desert is an extremely terrifying number!

Here, the teachings preached by the Buddhas have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they only believe in the Buddha, who is the only true Buddha in the world!

The population of the city swelled in a short period of time, which forced the Buddhist sect to limit the number of people entering the city. But this did not dampen the enthusiasm of these fanatical and devout Buddhists, who refused to leave even when they starved outside the city, hoping only to hear the teachings of the Dharma.

When Lin Yan saw such a shocking scene, he couldn't help but feel solemn in his heart. Buddhism has ruled in the Northern Desert for many years, and such a position is really unshakable!

All sentient beings are suffering, and the existence of Buddhism does not necessarily save these poor people and help them out of the sea of suffering, but it is unscrupulously grabbing the power of their faith and enjoying the offerings of sentient beings with peace of mind!

The people who can really enjoy the benefits are the upper class people and vested interests of the Northern Desert Buddha Kingdom, and as for the people at the bottom, they can only talk to them about how to dedicate in order to achieve transcendence in the next life.

Huh, the afterlife? It's ridiculous! Why can the high-ranking people of the Buddha kingdom be able to knock out the bones and marrow of their bodies with peace of mind, while those lowly and poor people can only wait for the next life? Is there really such a thing as an 'afterlife'?

Perhaps, those people don't know it, but they can't lose this hope, because this may be the only reason to support them to survive in this cruel world!

Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking, "Now the emergence of Mahayana Buddhism is an opportunity!" If it can really get up, then it will inevitably have a great impact on Buddhism. ”

"At the critical moment, I don't mind adding another fire to him!"

The time came soon, and on this day, Lin Yan and others began to go towards Lingshan with the mighty Buddhists, making a pilgrimage on foot to listen to the true meaning of Buddhism.

Not everyone is qualified to make a pilgrimage to Lingshan, and Lin Yan and the others only lined up in the middle of the line after a lot of effort. But that's not their real purpose, it's not good to get too far ahead.

The altar is opened on the Lingshan to preach the Dharma, and those who can explain the meaning of the scriptures on it are all famous monks and great virtues of Buddhism, guiding the direction for these confused believers and fighting for the sea of suffering.

But today is destined to be unusual, and after the monk's lecture lasted for half a day, there was a change.

There is a young monk wearing a dark red oblique monk's robe, with one arm exposed, and a yellow hat with fine fluff on it, like a cockscomb head, which looks a little different. At this moment, he is actively spreading his Fa.

Such a person quickly attracted the attention of many people, and unlike what he said on the high platform, his Dharma of "saving others and saving oneself" is obviously different from the existing teachings of Buddhism!

"Mahayana Buddhism!"

Anyone who understands something can't help but have this thought in their hearts, it is really the Mahayana Buddhism that has been making a lot of noise in the Northern Desert Buddha Country recently, and people can't help but pay attention to it!

It's just that after Mahayana Buddhism was supported by some people at the bottom in a short period of time, it was suppressed by Buddhism, and looking at this situation, it was only a matter of time before it was liquidated.

A scolding voice suddenly came from afar: "Cangjia, this is the Dharma Conference, not a place where you can come and make trouble!" Quickly retreat and get the punishment yourself! ”

Lin Yan was a little puzzled when he heard this, and his face was thoughtful, he seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.

The young monk, known as "Cangjia", folded his hands and chanted a Buddha name: "Amitabha! ”

Then he continued, "Since it's a Dharma conference, why can't the little monk come to the Dharma? ”

The original reprimanding voice came again, saying, "Ridiculous! What kind of Dharma are you talking about? As far as the fallacies and heresies you are talking about, don't confuse the public here, come on, fork him down for me! ”

At this moment, a compassionate voice slowly sounded in everyone's ears: "Why don't you let him talk about it?" ”

Although the voice is not high, it can be heard clearly by everyone present, which is enough to see that this person's strength is not bad.

"Master of Difficulty?" There was consternation in the voice of the monk who had been reprimanded earlier, obviously not expecting the master to speak.

You must know that Master Du Nan is a Buddhist Arhat, and his strength and status are far from being comparable to him!

But the Dharma Assembly could not tolerate Cang Jia's blatant preaching of Mahayana Buddhism, and the monk plucked up the courage and said, "Master Duan, this is not in accordance with the rules!" ”

Master Du Nan clasped his hands together and said, "Since it is a Dharma conference, why not talk about Mahayana Buddhism?" ”

The monk was speechless for a while, and said, "This ......"

At this moment, a voice came at the right time, relieving the monk: "Senior Brother Duan, this matter is indeed out of order, my Buddhism has only one doctrine, and I have never recognized any Mahayana Buddhism!" ”

The speaker is an arhat, and as a monk of the same status, he is not afraid of difficulties.

The latter looked at Du Qing and said with a smile: "The Dharma is boundless, who said that there is only one Dharma in the world?" ”

"If the junior thinks that Mahayana Buddhism is heresy, why not debate it?"

Debate is an important ability of Buddhism, the so-called Dharma, in essence, still depends on the explanation and transmission of the monks, and the different understandings that arise in this process will form deviations, and Buddhism will also use debate to solve these problems.

Once you overwhelm the other party in the process of arguing, then it means that your own statement occupies the truth.

Du Qingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Senior brother really wants to be like this?" ”

It's hard to be silent, but the attitude says it all.

Seeing this, he also knew that he must not retreat at this moment, after all, countless Buddhists below were watching this scene in front of him, if they retreated, how would they feel?

This Cangjia came to make such a show today, thinking that he saw the opportunity and wanted to use it to promote his doctrine, and this guy himself is his supporter, so it is not surprising that he has come forward now!

He bowed his head to the monk who was preaching on the high platform, and the latter nodded, and those who can explain the meaning of the scriptures on such occasions must be the profound virtues of Buddhism.

Instead, he turned his head to the difficulty and said, "Then go on stage!" ”

Du Nan smiled at Cangjia and said, "Go ahead!" ”

The young monk bowed and said, "Yes! ”

Then, he stepped forward, one step at a time, and it was solid. Under the gaze of countless Buddhists, he ascended to that high platform.

The person who preached the scriptures on the stage was a master of meditation, who had a deep understanding of the Buddhist scriptures, and even among the many Buddhist sects, he was also one of the few figures.

Perhaps, his cultivation is not outstanding, but his understanding of the Buddhist scriptures is enough to be called powerful!

But the young monk was not afraid, and said with a gentle smile: "Uncle Shi, please ask the question!" ”
