The Sword Falls into the Red Dust (continued) The Past of Taran (Part I)
Distant mountains, big rivers, quiet valleys, Buddha cities.
The original city of Talambang was peaceful and tranquil.
Under the rule of Buddhism, although they were poor, most of their belongings were dedicated to the Buddha of their faith, and all external goods were handed over to the worldly disputes.
But it should be said that people who are truly seeking peace of mind come together to live together, and it will always bring a piece of land some real peace.
No matter the wind and rain, or the birds and beasts contending, they will return to harmony with nature.
In the past, Su Nanyi, or the delusional monk, always thought like this.
However, forty years ago, an accident swept through the entire city of Talambang and its surrounding areas, causing Sunam Yi to completely lose his faith in Buddhism.
Forty years ago, in the city of Taran, there were naturally many temples and countless Buddhist monks.
Su Nanyi in the Qingguang Temple, has been practicing for a hundred years, loyal to the Buddhist faith, and because of this, his promotion is rapid, less than a few years to become a formal disciple, another ten years, worship into the inner door.
Until forty years ago, Sunan Yi was already the fifth realm of Buddhism in the lower realm, the realm of fog and Zen, which was equivalent to the Xuanyan realm of Taoism.
This realm is a water mill, just like a Xuanyan monk, only by constantly condensing the body called fog-shaped Zen, can it finally be transformed into a source of Buddha's heart beyond Zen.
Generally, Buddhism calls the breakthrough of this realm true enlightenment, and once it reaches the fog Zen, it is even more bound to Buddhism, and unless the body dies, it is impossible to transfer to other cultivation routes in this life.
And to be able to reach the level of fog meditation, in fact, it is unlikely that it is possible to change cultivation again, and to go to such a point, it is already a person who has no two hearts about Buddhism, only the possibility that their detailed concepts are not the same, and will not violate the purpose of Buddhism.
Su Nanyi has been in the Fog Zen realm for about ten years, and it is extremely terrifying to be able to climb the realm to such a level in just one hundred years, even if it is placed in the Buddhism sect where it is relatively easy to improve the realm in the early stage.
However, Su Nanyi has never been proud, he knows that if he wants to enter the realm of true origin, he must be more convinced of the belief in the supreme Buddha and more thoroughly comprehend the works of the Buddhist sages.
If you want to go on, Su Nanyi still has a long way to go, but Su Nanyi is never afraid, and he is very sure that he can reach the top step by step.
Qingguang Temple also understands that Sunan Yi's Buddha nature is high and his qualifications are good, once Sunan Yi can break through to the realm of true origin, the position of his next Buddha must be Sunan Yi to sit.
Qingguang Temple is not a casual small temple, according to incomplete statistics, there are more than 10,000 large and small temples in Talan City, and Qingguang Temple is in more than 10,000 temples, ranking the top three is also extremely easy.
In Qingguang Temple, from the host to the abbot, as well as a group of elders, there are three monks who return to the realm of silence on the surface.
It can be said that forty years ago in Talan City, Su Nanyi certainly felt that the future was bright.
However, one night, when he went out to talk about the Buddha and explain the Buddhist scriptures in detail, he was delayed for a little longer, and when he returned to Talan City, it was already late at night.
Entering the city of Talan, Su Nanyi exhaled lightly, this day his mind was consumed too much, he sighed in his heart, it turned out that there are some powerful Buddhism in the outside world, you know, debating in the door, but there are not many Buddhist cultivators in the same realm, who can understand the Buddhist scriptures more profoundly than him.
What's more, he has seen a few mortals today, and their understanding of Buddhist scriptures is almost comparable to that of some of the predecessors of the Enlightenment and Returning to Silence.
Su Nanyi, who was walking and feeling the impermanence of life, suddenly found himself walking into a small road, and in the past few decades, the road back to the temple has formed a muscle memory of Su Nanyi, who felt strange, why did he walk into a place that he would hardly come to on weekdays today.
Su Nanyi calmed down, looked at the surrounding scenery, and reluctantly remembered that this should be a place where demon monks lived.
Of course, there is still a large part of the demon clan in Talan City, and they are generally demon clans who believe in Buddhism, and they come here to practice Buddhism and feel the breath of Buddhism.
However, although Buddhism can teach these demon clans, there is a tradition in Xiaoling Mountain since ancient times, and the demon clan can practice Buddhist exercises, and even the most core exercises can be handed over to the demon clan for enlightenment, but they cannot officially worship the large and small doors of Buddhism.
From Xiaoling Mountain outward, it is natural that all the Buddhist sects in the Golden Tibetan Domain dare not accept the demon clan.
Therefore, in Talan City, there are many demon clans, and there are also many Buddhist temples, but no demon clan can enter the temple to practice.
Over time, large and small demon settlements have formed in Talan City, which is generally called Demon Street.
At this moment, Sunan Yi is in a large-scale demon street, but it is very strange that generally speaking, the deeper the night, the more lively the demon street, but there is no sound.
According to the customs of the demon clan, many demon clans like to travel at night, even if they are transformed by plants and trees, and monsters are transformed by gold and stone, they also prefer the feeling of being yin and prosperous at night.
Of course, some demon streets end early because they will take care of the customs of the surrounding Buddhist monasteries, which will not affect the life and rest of the Buddhist monks.
However, according to Su Nanyi's memory, because there are fewer Buddhist temples here, and there are many demon streets, it is one of the largest demon streets.
In the early years, some Buddhist festivals also came to this demon street, and the memories of the year are still vivid, but now this place is as silent as death, so that the cultivation is as profound as Su Nanyi, and some feel inexplicable palpitations.
Su Nanyi suddenly thought that in these demon streets, there are still a large number of human races living here, most of them are from outside to do business or come for various reasons, there are also people who believe in Buddhism, and there are not a few who don't believe in it.
However, among these human races, there are very few monks, because generally speaking, if the human race in the Golden Tibetan Domain wants to practice, they can only worship the Buddha Gate, and there are very few scattered cultivators, and most of the wandering monks who travel abroad have learned the practice method from some monasteries.
Thinking of this, Sunan Yi had a crazy conjecture in his heart, he felt that the demon clan had not been eliminated, and they had killed some human races, and in order to avoid attracting attention, they deliberately hid it?
Such thoughts for a lifetime, Su Nanyi's cold and disgusting thoughts, if the weeds grow wildly, the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks it is possible, because the demon clan devouring incident has been less in recent years, but it is not completely absent.
The demon clan and Buddhism have been pulling in the Golden Tibetan Domain for so many years, and the twelve dungeons are naturally the mainstream of the demon race, and their tolerance for the human race is still very high, and a considerable number of them are sincere to the Buddhism and sincerely accept the human race.
However, there are still some demon clans, after descending from Buddhism, they will live in seclusion in the mountains and deep lakes in the north, and the inner inheritance is not weak.
Those demon clans have a tradition of devouring people, or rather, they don't care what nutrition they provide, even within the demon clan, there will be incidents of fighting and cannibalism.
If a group of northern primordial demon clans mixed into Talan City, it was absolutely very likely that such an incident would happen.
Su Nanyi took out the golden light demon pestle from the storage bag, and there was also the Dharma seal blessed by the contemporary host of Qingguang Temple on it, and the power was invincible under the realm of fog Zen.
With a staff in hand, Sunan Yi explored the big and small corners of the demon street.
However, not only did Su Nanyi not find a trace of blood, but he didn't even notice a little demonic energy, and there were several other courtyards where many big demons should have lived, but they were also empty.
At that time, Su Nanyi, just like Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo who entered Talan City, was extremely puzzled, but he did not dare to act rashly.
And the similarity between the two parties is not here, and Su Nanyi finally detected signs of human or demon action after a certain corner.
Sunan Yi exuded a golden light, flew towards that place, and before he landed, he saw several Terran children pulling a pale man with a cart.
Su Nanyi felt from a distance that the man had cultivation in his body, but his aura was almost empty, obviously he was in a deficit of a lot of blood, and he was about to die.
Su Nanyi, who was compassionate, saw this scene, naturally he couldn't control the abnormal situation, and immediately fell in front of several people, and when he poked out the golden light, he was about to treat the man who was lying down.
I never thought that those few human children, when they saw that Sunan Yi had just fallen, they immediately dragged the wooden cart and ran away, and when they saw Sunan Yi putting the golden light in his hand, someone was blocking in front of the man, shouting: "The Buddha and the demon are here again, I will block it, you run quickly!" ”
Su Nanyi was puzzled and a little angry.
"Buddha demon? Why is it a Buddha and a demon, and how can my Buddha be called a demon by these people? Are they being deceived? ”
Even if Sunan Yi's own beliefs were slandered, he was still looking for reasons for the other party, and Sunan Yi at that time was a kind-hearted person from the bottom of his heart.
But Su Nanyi can't tolerate someone who is so viciously called Buddhism, the few people in front of him are all mortal children and low-level monks who are dying, and Su Nanyi captures a few people, it is extremely easy.
The golden light was released from afar, and several people were immediately firmly frozen in place.
Su Nanyi stepped on a fly and landed in front of several people, even though Su Nanyi's expression was kind, he couldn't bear the dissatisfaction in his heart, and asked a few people what happened in a gentle tone, but those children still had hideous faces, and their eyes were full of resentment and deep fear.
Su Nanyi couldn't imagine what kind of hatred this was, why these young children of the human race had such an attitude towards him.
So he asked again, saying that he was passing by here and noticed that the situation here had changed, so he came to help, and he was a disciple of Qingguang Temple, and he would definitely be able to help everyone.
Su Nanyi's tone was sincere, but several young children didn't seem to understand people's words, and they didn't mean to calm down at all, Su Nanyi could feel that these people were struggling hard, and they didn't know whether they wanted to run or what they wanted.
In desperation, Su Nanyi could only choose to save the man first, and then see what information the man could provide him.
Thinking like this, Su Nanyi's hand changed, and a softer golden light sprinkled on the unconscious man.
Seeing this, several children looked even more anxious than before, and some even shed tears, and their emotions obviously began to collapse.
This situation made Su Nanyi want to find out what happened here.
