Chapter 11 The Ascension Ceremony, I Stop
Dongping country.
On the bank of the Yanjiang River, Wangjiang Tower.
"Ridiculous, simply ridiculous! Since the founding of the country, there has never been such a ridiculous thing in my Dongping Kingdom, and I see my father and emperor ......"
Inside the Tianzi No. 1 room.
The young man in brocade slammed the table and gritted his teeth.
"Your Highness, be cautious."
Beside him, a gray-haired old man interrupted the young man's words with a fixed gaze.
Chu Han, the crown prince of Dongping Kingdom, took a few breaths to calm his mood.
He said in a deep voice:
"Elder Xie Bo reminded that it was the temple that lost its word."
For this old man, Chu Han was very respectful.
This old man's name was Bo Tian, and he was a true Qi Refining Cultivator.
This year is not yet eighty years old, and he has cultivated to the Qi Refining Realm!
Bo Tian is from Chu Han's mother's family.
With such a strong qi refining person to follow, Chu Han was able to secure the position of the crown prince.
"Bo Lao."
Chu Han opened his mouth and lowered his voice:
"Since a month ago, after the evil monks of Moyun Temple entered the palace, my father and emperor seemed to have changed a person, and he was building Buddhist temples in the country, spreading Buddhism, and even more so to establish Moyun Temple as the state religion.
It is the height of summer, the flood is coming, and many places in the country need to strengthen the embankment, but my father used the allocation to build the [Shengfo Temple]......"
Chu Han stood by the window and looked at the tall temple in the distance, this Buddhist temple was magnificent, occupying a lot of fertile land and people's residences, and the walls outside were covered with gold leaf, shining with golden light.
The gold leaf is exposed, but no one thinks about it, there is a forbidden army specially guarding the Buddhist temple, ten steps and a post, the defense is tight, day and night.
The temple is a major project of Dongping Kingdom, and the emperor allocated money from the treasury to build this temple in order to hold the [Buddha Ascending Ceremony] for the living Buddha of Moyun Temple.
To be able to build such a building in one month, you can imagine how much manpower and material resources were spent.
"The evil monk's methods are really a bit clever, that day he entered the palace to face the saint, and fought with the old national teacher, but he actually killed the old national teacher and rescued him on the spot, and everyone in the audience was shocked."
Bo Tian sighed.
As a Qi Refining Cultivator, he was also present on the day of the Dharma.
The strongest person in Dongping Kingdom, the current national teacher, didn't even take a move from the evil monk.
You must know that the old national teacher is a strong foundation builder, who has practiced for nearly two hundred years, and in terms of cultivation realm, no one in the entire Dongping Kingdom can stand out.
The evil monk was able to perform such a terrible method, and with Bo Tian's knowledge, he guessed......
The other party is very likely to be the legendary Jindan powerhouse!
Of course, this speculation is even more desperate.
If the evil monk was really a Jindan monk, then the entire Dongping Kingdom would have no power to resist.
In this regard, Bo seniors, who have lived for more than 70 years and have rich experience in life, said, let's vote.
In a Fanwu Empire like Dongpingguo, it is already rare to have a monk in the early stage of foundation building.
This time, there is a Jindan boss, it is easy to destroy Dongping Kingdom, and it is impossible to fight it, so it is better to be loyal in advance and be a dog for others.
Bo Tian calculated that as a Qi Refining Cultivator, he was naturally different from ordinary people.
At this time, he ran over and screamed twice, maybe the monk would be happy and reward himself with a few bones.
Chu Han didn't want to be a dog, he had seen with his own eyes the appearance of those people who believed in Moyun Temple.
All of them look fanatical, like dolls, and they only know how to burn incense and kowtow at home every day.
Some people can't even eat, and they can starve themselves to death.
Once this evil sect spreads throughout the country, the Dongping Kingdom will be completely wiped out in a few years.
"Your Highness."
Bo Tian spoke, interrupting Chu Han's thoughts.
He whispered:
"The Buddha Ascension Ceremony is about to begin."
………………
Yanjiang River is a large river in the territory of Dongping Kingdom, which runs north-south, and the water flow is very stable, so the water transportation is developed.
Cities along the coast rely on the Grand Canal to develop, and the most famous is this Yanshui City.
A month ago, the Emperor of Dongping ordered the construction of the Buddha Temple in Yanshui City, and when the temple was completed, the living Buddha from Moyun Temple would hold a Buddha promotion ceremony, and the people of the city should participate.
Chu Han stood on the Wangjiang Tower, looking at the scene in the distance, silent.
Before the ceremony began, a large number of people had gathered around Moyun Temple, shoulder to shoulder, with a pilgrimage-like devotion on their faces.
Many of them waited near Moyun Temple before dawn, just to be the first to see the so-called living Buddha.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
The dull bell rang, and after nine consecutive blows, the crowd slowly parted, and then fell down in unison.
The guard of honor opened the way, the guards with knives lined up on both sides, and a canopy appeared in Chu Han's field of vision.
This is the arrival of the emperor of Dongping Kingdom.
"Your Highness."
Bo Tian spoke, "We should go down too." ”
Chu Han sighed.
As the crown prince of Dongping Kingdom, even if he has thousands of reluctances in his heart, he must follow the emperor at this time and participate in this ceremony.
………………
Half a stick of incense after the time.
Chu Li, the emperor of Dongping Kingdom, met his son in front of the Shengfo Temple.
He snorted coldly, knowing that Chu Han was negligent, but the Buddha Ascension Ceremony was important, and he didn't have time to punish this rebel at this time.
Chu Li stood in front of the people, and behind him were a group of princes and ministers, princes and princesses, all of whom held their breath and looked solemn.
Another stick of incense had passed, and the Living Buddha had not yet appeared, but there was not the slightest impatience on Chu Li's face.
At this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared on the river in the distance.
Everyone looked up, but saw that the river had stopped flowing, as if time had stood still.
The next moment, the entire river began to flow backwards!
A brilliant golden treasure appeared in everyone's sight, under the treasure is forty-eight monks, all wearing bright yellow monk robes, and there is a lotus platform on the treasure chariot, on the lotus platform sits a white-eyed old monk, wearing a robe, the treasure is solemn.
Forty-eight monks carried huge chariots and went upriver from the lower reaches of the Yanjiang River.
The monks walked on the waves, but their clothes did not get wet, as if they were walking on the ground.
Chu Li and the princes and ministers on the shore were already stunned, they had never seen this kind of scene in their lives that drove the river and made it rush backwards.
For the people of Dongping, this is a miracle.
Forty-eight yellow-clothed monks carried ashore, and the white-eyed old monk folded his hands:
"I came here in a hurry to the river, and I delayed some time, and I hope you don't blame it."
He didn't call him a "poor monk" but called him "this seat", but no one in the audience felt that there was anything inappropriate, even the crown prince Chu Han, at this moment, he was immersed in the picture of the river flowing backwards and rushing to the river, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
In the crowd, I don't know who shouted the living Buddha, and it was like a fried pot, and the mountains and the sea responded.
Commoners, businessmen, officials, and even royal relatives fell to their knees, shouting the name of the Living Buddha, and many of them looked almost fanatical.
The white-eyed old monk sat on the lotus platform, suspended in the air, he folded his hands and smiled slightly:
"This seat is ...... today"
At this moment, above the clouds, a voice came:
"I said stop."
