The main hall is called Ban Ruo Yuan, it is not the largest building in the whole Kailong Temple, but it is also magnificent, the building of the Liao State imitates the Han system, but the base is gathered on the stone platform, and some of the stone platforms are hollow and can also be used as the secret room of the underground palace, this Prajna Courtyard is said to be a courtyard in fact, it is just a big hall.

Xiao Ming looked at it, and there was a couplet on both sides of the main hall, which read:

The Dharma building is now Ciyun, watching the autumn moon and spring flowers, all of which are the three empty wonders;

The wisdom lamp hangs on the throne, and listening to the morning bell and dusk drum is nothing more than a little Zen machine.

This couplet Xiao Ming looked familiar, as if there was an identical couplet in Hangzhou Tianzhu Temple, and he didn't have time to distinguish it carefully, so he looked at the left and right people, and pulled the side door of the hall, and found that the door was not locked, so he flashed in.

Coming in from the side door is naturally the side hall, there are four statues of the protector King Kong on both sides of the side hall, the side hall is dark, it seems that the face of King Kong is hideous and terrifying, Xiao Ming is attracted by the light, and does not pay attention to the angry eyes of King Kong behind him, but walks along the curtain of the apse to the front hall.

There was only one figure sitting alone on the empty hall under the dim oil lamp, it was a white figure, and Xiao Ming could see that it was a monk in a white robe.

The monk sat there with his back hunched, his thin shoulders were shaking, it seemed that he was busy, there were two scriptures on the table in front of him, and the white-clothed monk was working hard to write, this person was very engrossed, and even Xiao Ming had already walked behind him, and he didn't notice it at all.

There is only a large hall in this Prajna Temple, which is obviously an alternative, the Buddha statue on the main hall is very weird, it is a black-faced Buddha statue, and only one is put, different from the traditional Western three saints, such as the Buddha is the future Buddha, Wenzhu Fuxian is not as the main Buddha, but as a disciple to serve, there is only one Buddha statue here, and I don't know what kind of Buddha?

Xiao Ming may have a little impression, searching in his mind, as if there was an introduction to this in Ding Jianpeng's computer documents, such a school of Buddha statues is the earliest school of Buddhist Baoxiangzong, that is, the initial form of the Buddhist Tantric school, and Tantra was first introduced to Liao from the Western Regions.

Ding Jianpeng once told Xiao Ming that Kailong Temple is a famous Huayan Temple in Liao, but there are Tantric Buddha statues in the temple of Huayan Sect, what is going on? It seemed that all this was going to fall on the white-clothed monk, Xiao Ming took a step forward and reached out to send the white-clothed monk's shoulder.

"Don't move!"

Xiao Ming was frightened, the white-clothed monk seemed to be unpredictable, but his back to Xiao Ming was like looking at him, Xiao Ming's every move seemed to be in the eyes of others, or people already knew what Xiao Ming was going to do, but he said Han dialect, not Khitan dialect, which Xiao Ming heard correctly.

The white-clothed monk suddenly turned his face and grinned at Xiao Ming: "Master Xiao! We meet again! ”

Xiao Ming also smiled: "Master Jiming, we see it again!" What are you doing? ”

The white-clothed monk is the master of Jiming of Lingyin Temple, and Ding Jianpeng claimed to have come to Liao after being separated in Bianliang, and there has been no news of him since then, who knows that he met here, it turned out that he really came to Liao, and has been in the Kailong Temple in Beijing.

Master Jiming should be regarded as a monk who has attained the Tao, and he has also made a great fortune, that is, the three volumes of scriptures translated by the three volumes of scriptures translated by the Cixian Sanzang of the Mahmadha Kingdom of Tianzhu State, which was originally collected by the Buddha Yin Master, and finally suddenly lost, Jiming vowed to find it back, which is why he is in the Liao State.

Ji Ming saluted Xiao Ming and said: "Amitabha, where do you not meet in life, Lord Xiao, have you done your business in Liaoguo?" ”

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "I am now Xiao Ming, who is an official in Liao, not Xiao Ming, who is a shopkeeper in Hangzhou!" ”

Ji Ming said: "It's just a change of identity, the essence of the donor hasn't changed, is it okay for the Buddha's light?" ”

"Foguang is now in Hangzhou, when will the master return to Hangzhou?"

Ji Ming sighed and said, "My wish is not fulfilled, and I can't go back for the time being." ”

"What did the master say about those three scriptures?" Xiao Ming asked.

Ji Ming nodded and told Xiao Ming the origin of the three volumes of scriptures, and Xiao Ming knew that the original three volumes of the Sutra of the Great Buddha Ding Dharani, the Great Sui Qiu Dharani Sutra, and the Great Destruction of the Dharani Sutra were translated by the three scriptures of the Magadha Kingdom of Tianzhu, and these three scriptures were the same as the supreme classics of the Buddhist Vajra system.

The scriptures translated by Cixian Sanzang are not in the Central Plains, but in the Liao country, where Buddhism is developed, and this basic scripture has been positioned as a national treasure, but a few decades ago, this basic scripture was suddenly lost, and three of the scriptures suddenly appeared in the hands of the Buddha seal master of Jinshan Temple in the Great Song Dynasty.

Master Buddha Yin is the master of the Yunmen Sect, he was quite confused after getting the three scriptures, because he did not know the words written on them, because the Tianzhu script translated by Cixian Sanzang was written in Khitan script, although the three scriptures were regarded as treasures by him, but he could not study half of the sentence.

It didn't take long for these three scriptures in the Great Song Dynasty to let the Liao State know, Liao Shunzong was furious and then had the intention of Xingshi to ask for guilt, the Song Dynasty sent an envoy to mediate the matter, and after the Liao civil strife, the matter was over, and after the death of the Buddha Yin Master, the whereabouts of these three scriptures are unknown.

Buddha seal and Lingyin Temple Jihui master has an old, this time the search for the scriptures fell on the head of Jihui, and the person who is really looking for these three scriptures is the monk Jiming, Jiming also made a grand wish for this, how do you know that Jiming followed the trail all the way to find the Kailong Temple of Liao, only to find that things are not so simple.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Yelu Abaoji, a tribal leader of the Khitan tribe, unified the neighboring tribes and expanded the strategy, that is, he intended to absorb the culture of the interior in order to recruit the Han people. It is said that in the second year of Tang Tianfu, Liao Taizu founded Longhua Prefecture and had the establishment of Kaijiao Temple. In the second year of Taizu Tianxian, he captured the Bohai Department of the Jurchen tribe who believed in Buddhism, and moved 50 people including the local monk Chongwen to the west building of the capital at that time (later known as Shangjing Linhuang Mansion), and specially built Tianxiong Temple to place them and promote Buddhism. The imperial family often went to Buddhist temples to worship, and held Buddhist events such as prayers, posthumous recommendations, and meals for monks, so that the Buddhist belief gradually became popular among the court nobles.

In the first year of Taizong's meeting, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun (now Hebei and northern Shanxi) were obtained, and Buddhism was prevalent in this area, which promoted the development of Buddhism in the Liao Dynasty, and the dynasty's policy of using Buddhism was also significant. Later, all the emperors gave special protection to Buddhism, and in the middle of the three dynasties of Shengzong, Xingzong, and Taoism, Buddhism in the Liao Dynasty was extremely prosperous.

Emperor Daozong was particularly believing, and he set up an altar in the inner court to confer ordination and start teaching the style of law. He also collected and sorted out Buddhist scriptures with the power of the state, supervised and encouraged the monks to annotate them, and engraved them for circulation. He completed the engraving of the four major parts of the Khitan Tibetan and Fangshan Stone Sutras, namely Nirvana, Huayan, Prajna, and Baoji, as well as other important classics, and the most famous engraving of the Tripitaka in the history of Buddhism was completed under his auspices, which was later transmitted to Fusang and then to the Central Plains.

Emperor Daozong is Yelu Hongji, he is proficient in Sanskrit, has attainments in Buddhist Huayan, especially Jing "Shi Mahayan Treatise" He often summons famous monks to the court to say the Dharma, preferential treatment of them, and high officials. At that time, there were as many as 20 monks who were worshipping the three princes and three secretaries and serving as political affairs, which greatly improved the status of Buddhism in society.

Buddhism after several generations of Liao Emperor prosperity, as if has become the state religion of Liao, there is the Western Regions Hu monk Bana Tie Ji with Tantric Mahayana teachings to Liao, in Beijing to preach the Dharma for 43 days, more than 10,000 believers, then received by the Liao Emperor was awarded the title of national teacher, and long-term order on the Beijing Kailong Temple.

But Bana Tie is not simple, the ability to move is very strong, just a few years with the Liao State is always within the princes and nobles of the hot fight, and gradually has the ability to influence the government, and for this Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi turned a blind eye, but by the Lanling King Xiao Fengxian advocated, let Bana Tie Ji in the whole territory of the Liao State to spread the Dharma, everywhere to loot temple property to build pagodas, for this court every year to consume countless silver, the state capitals complained, and finally was also transferred to the ordinary people, making the people miserable.

Kailong Temple has built the palace of the national teacher, now the national teacher follows the Liao court to avoid the disaster of Xijing, there is no one here to live permanently, after the Jin soldiers captured Shangjing, did not harass the monk temple, Kailong Temple presided over the Yuantong Wuli Xianyan master for this good, organize the monks to rescue the wounded in the army.

Ji Ming came to Kailong Temple to ask for Master Xian Yan, and learned that the three scriptures lost from Master Buddha Yin were indeed in Kailong Temple, and these three scriptures were handed over to Xian Yan by Bana Tie Shu, this matter is quite strange, why did the Buddha Yin keep the scriptures appear in the hands of Bana Tie Ji? And Bana Tie Ji has never been to the Song Kingdom at all.

Ji Ming can't ask for scriptures, Xian Yan claimed that the scriptures were originally the treasure of the Liao Kingdom, not owned by the Song Kingdom, and showed him the Khitan characters in the scriptures, Ji Ming knew the truth of the matter this time, he stayed in Kailong Temple, and Xian Yan studied Buddhism together, Xian Yan admired him greatly, so he took out the Sanskrit original of the three scriptures and handed them to Ji Ming, so that he tried his best to translate them into Chinese, and also counted Ji Ming's wishes.

Ji Ming has been translating the scriptures in Kailong Temple until Xiao Ming appeared, Xiao Ming knew why the scriptures appeared in the hands of Bana Tieji, and Pang Wanchun, the Duobaoguan of Mingjiao, has always been in contact with Bana Tieji, and the scriptures must have been stolen by Pang Wanchun and handed over to Bana Tieji.

"Has the master already settled the matter of the scriptures completely?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Forget about your wishes, after all, the scriptures are dead, the Dharma is boundless and how can you be obsessed with the scriptures and classics, the so-called nothing in the world is not a pure land, the people of the Tao have compassion in their hearts, and uphold the Dharma to universalize all sentient beings is the fundamental" Ji Ming said.

Xiao Ming asked, "Has the master ever seen a Han man named Pang Wanchun appear with Bana Tieji?" ”

Ji Ming frowned and thought about it for a while: "Since I arrived at Kailong Temple, I have never seen this Great Liao National Teacher, and Master Xianyan does not interfere with my freedom, except for the National Teacher's palace, I am not forbidden anywhere else." ”

Xiao Ming still has a lot of doubts in his heart, why is Master Xian Yan so taboo about Jiming's existence and the matter of Bana Tieji, and is he reluctant to mention it, is there a deeper reason for this?

It seems that there must be a deeper problem hidden in the palace of the national teacher, Xiao Ming decided to go back first, he learned that Ji Ming's translation work was almost over, he not only translated the "Great Buddha Ding Dharani Sutra", "The Great Sutra of Seeking Dharani", "The Great Destruction of the Dharani Sutra", these three volumes of scriptures, but also translated two other scriptures.

This was definitely a test for his Sanskrit, but fortunately he was able to communicate with Master Xian Yan in this regard, and he also translated a volume of "Miao Ji Xiang Ping Yoga Secret Contemplation of the Body and Buddhahood Ritual", a volume of "Ruyi Wheel Lotus Heart Meditation Door Ceremony", and at the same time copied the "Zhun Ti Mantra", "Six Character Da Ming Mantra", "Eight Great Bodhisattva Mandala Sutras" and other scriptures.

These scriptures themselves are the classics of Buddhist Tantra, and Tantra has nothing to do with the Buddhist schools of Middle-earth except for the connection with the Baoxiang Sect and the Huayan Sect.

…… After Xiao Ming returned to his residence, he was still thinking about this matter, and the matter entrusted by Ding Jianpeng could be regarded as having an explanation, which could be told to him through the flying kite, but the matter between Bana Tieqi and Pang Wanchun had not been resolved, but now that he was in power and had heavy troops in his hands, it seemed that it was not too difficult to do these things.

Sure enough, on the third day, Xiao Ming received the will of Emperor Tianzuo, he wanted to hold a spring bowl event in the upper reaches of the Liaohe River Plain, originally the Liao Kingdom would hold a bowl meeting in the four seasons of each year, and the final name was the autumn bowl event, through the autumn hunting, the Liao Emperor received the envoys of the subject countries in the leather room tent, dealt with national affairs, sacrificed ancestors and held a festival, but this year's Winter Bowl Conference Tianzuo Emperor canceled it under the pretext of damage to the plow of snow transportation.

And now, the Jin army was defeated, Wanyan Agu was beaten to death, Shangjing was also recovered, good things continued, Emperor Tianzuo was in a good mood, and decided to hold a spring bowl conference, and at the same time, he also had to carry out a large sacrificial ceremony, and a grand festival, the monks of the major temples in Shangjing need to participate, so the master of Xianyan will definitely go, and the will will will be conveyed in the near future.

As soon as Xian Yan left, Xiao Ming of the entire Kailong Temple thought that he could do whatever he wanted, since the opportunity came, then the secrets in the palace of the national teacher would naturally not let go, he and Bana Tie Ji were destined to become enemies, and it was impossible for Xiao Ming to give the other party any chance to deal with the enemy, he would bite it to death.
