Chapter 39: The Challenge from the Holy Buddha
Ma Tianshan and Li Xiangyi, a pair of young and old scholars, have a feeling of seeing each other late.
One is the newly appointed Confucian Academy of Western Pure Land Continent, one of the nine major Confucian sacrificial wines in the world, and the other is a genius scholar who is famous in Jiuzhou.
The two are very different in age, but they have similar temperaments.
While the two were chatting, the Holy Buddha of Ghana and the two elders of the Great Burning Ah Monastery had already finished talking, and the three Holy Buddhas already knew what had happened before the Great Burning Ah Temple.
After defeating the four temple protectors, although there were twenty-eight major formations guarding them, Li Xiangyun still forcibly removed the ancestral plaque of the Great Burning Temple.
Everyone knew that this move was a deliberate humiliation, or revenge, for the Great Burning of the Temple.
With the four Dharma Kings in front, the two elders and other principals in the temple knew that they could not compete with Hanshan Li Xiangyi, so they could only watch, but some young monks couldn't bear it and rushed out of the big array.
They all fell.
From the moment when Xie Jiashu was chased and killed, the Great Burning Temple can be said to have lost his wife and soldiers, not only failed to help Xie Jiashu, but was killed and injured, and now even the precious ancestral plaque has been lost, which can be described as extremely humiliating.
If it weren't for the temple, there were also supreme holy relics such as the relics of the ancestors of the previous generations, including the first patriarch, who needed to be protected, and the second elder would have led the monks of the whole temple to rush up and fight with Li Xiangyi.
After a few words of secret words with the second elder, the Holy Buddha of Ghana came to Ma Tianshan and Li Xiangyi, and said: "Mr. Ma, Master Li, and Master Xie Jiashu are intact, and the Great Burning Temple not only has countless casualties, but even the plaque of the temple door has been removed, so this matter can be over, right?" ”
Hearing this, Li Xiangyan and Ma Tianshan glanced at each other.
However, before they could speak, a young monk from the Great Burning Temple said loudly: "Holy Buddha, this Hanshan Li Xiangyi forcibly demolished the plaque of the patriarch of our temple and killed countless people, how can this be the end?" ”
"He must be left behind, confess to the Buddha, and think about it in front of the wall!"
At this point, the other monks immediately chimed in: "Yes, Li Xiangyi demolished the plaque of my patriarch, he deliberately humiliated my temple, humiliated the patriarch who opened the temple, and asked the three holy Buddhas to be the masters of my temple!" ”
"The Holy Buddha of Ghana, Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple represents the Buddhists and believers of the entire world, and is the head of the world's liberation sect, so I will not sit back and watch my secret ancestral temple and be bullied by outsiders!"
"Please three holy Buddhas, please Lingshan to uphold justice for my temple, and accept this fang, otherwise I will burn the temple, how can I face the thousands of tantric believers in Xizhou?"
"This is the Western Pure Land Continent, not the Middle Earth Divine Continent, how can a little Confucian be allowed to act recklessly? Where to put the face of Buddhism in this way? Ask the three holy Buddhas to kill this thief! ”
The voice of condemning Li Xiangyi is like a tsunami.
Seeing that all of them were monks, but they couldn't let go of their grudges, they couldn't wait to rush up immediately to kill and suppress Li Xiangyi.
But I don't blame them, the main thing is that Li Xiangyun has really done something "excessive".
Kill the four great temple kings, and forcibly remove the temple door plaque, it is simply unbearable, and the mud bodhisattva is also angry.
What's more, they are all flesh and blood.
However, hearing these shouts and shouts of killing, the Holy Buddha of Ghana frowned.
Today's events, to put it mildly, are between the Great Burning Ah Temple and the Hanshan Academy, but to be bigger, it is between Buddhism and Confucianism.
As one of the three religions, Buddhism is not afraid of Confucianism, the first major religion in the world, especially in the West Pure Land Continent under the jurisdiction of Buddhism, and the power of Buddhism far exceeds that of Confucianism represented by Xishan Xuegong.
However, in this matter, Buddhism is ultimately unreasonable.
If you make a fuss, it will be Buddhism that will suffer.
The Confucian gang of people who are used to playing tricks will fight for three points unreasonably, but now they are in charge of reason and righteousness, and they will definitely be very strong.
The appearance of Ma Tianshan, the great sacrificial wine of Xizhou, here represents the attitude of Confucianism.
Speaking of which, the Great Burning Temple has gone too far, even if you want to protect the Great Sangma Temple and breathe a sigh of relief for it, you should talk about it after a while, or do it secretly, how can you hunt down Xie Jiashu all over the continent with great fanfare?
Isn't this the target that he gave to Hanshan Academy and Confucianism?
Is it really the position of the leader of the three schools of Confucianism, who only relies on his mouth and pen?
In the end, the holy Buddha of Ghana just chanted a Buddha name, suppressed the noise of all the monks, and ignored them, only looking at Ma Tianshan and Li Xiangyi.
Ma Tianshan shook the feather fan and took a step back, signaling that Li Xiangyi was in charge of the matter, and he was just here to watch the play.
Li Xiangyi smiled and said: "Since the Holy Buddha of Lingshan has come forward, then this matter will be settled, but Master Ghana, the younger generation has to say ugly things in advance, if the monks of the Great Burning Ah Temple or other temples can't swallow this breath in the future, and still want to attack my Hanshan teachers and students, then my Hanshan Academy will never show mercy." ”
"When the time comes, don't blame me for not selling the three holy Buddhas and Lingshan face."
The Holy Buddha of Ghana replied solemnly: "This is a matter of course, and in addition, the old man will restrain the people who burn the temple, and all those who have broken the vows in this matter will also be dealt with accordingly." ”
"Lingshan will never tolerate any monk who has broken the vows."
Li Xiangyun nodded, saying that he had no opinion, he believed that Lingshan would deal with this matter for the sake of the reputation of Buddhism, after all, the Dasanma Temple fornicated the temple and the matter of cruelty to the believers spread, and the most affected was the Buddhism in the world.
Seeing that Li Xiangyi nodded, the Holy Buddha of Ghana turned to look at the second elder of the Great Burning Temple.
The second elder clasped his hands together, bowed his head and replied: "The old man is not strict in his care, so that he is willing to be punished if such an overstep occurs!" ”
There was a hint of a smile on the withered old face of the Holy Buddha of Ghana.
This turmoil has finally subsided.
The second elder suppressed all his emotions and motioned to the two juniors beside him to welcome back the ancestor plaque.
The two elders of the Great Burning Temple immediately stepped forward and wanted to carry back the plaque of the mountain gate.
However, Li Xiangyun still stepped on the plaque and did not get out of the way.
"Master Li, who are you?" The second elder was a little puzzled.
Li Xiangyi replied lightly: "I just said that it was a matter just now, but I didn't promise to return the plaque." ”
Hearing this, the second elder's face changed slightly: "You ......"
The other monks in the temple glared angrily.
The surname Li is deliberately playing tricks.
It's all said that it's over, how can there be no such thing as not returning the ancestral plaque? If I really don't return it, how can the thousands of monks in my Great Burning Temple agree?
This is the ancestral temple of Buddhism, not a Confucian academy that argues with tongues!
The Holy Buddha of Ghana also frowned again, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Master Li, what are you going to do?" Do you have to provoke a war between Buddhism and Confucianism? ”
"The catastrophe in the world is imminent, and the Buddha and Confucianism are fighting together, and there will be no life in the world of the world."
"Please also ask Master Li Shi to be more forgiving for the sake of the common people in the world."
Li Xiangyi replied: "The Holy Buddha has misunderstood, and it is not to provoke a war between Confucianism and Buddha, nor is it a group of monks who deliberately play tricks and make things difficult to burn a temple. ”
"If you want to get this ancestral plaque back, it's very simple, take something in exchange."
"My Hanshan Mountain Chief almost died in vain at the hands of the Great Burning Temple, and I always need some compensation, otherwise the major holy lands and dynasties in the world will not see that my Hanshan is weak and come to bully me?"
"Anyway, it's okay if you can't be bullied, and you don't have to pay the price."
The Holy Buddha of Ghana groaned.
After a while, he looked at the two holy Buddhas of Garan and Gardelia beside him.
After communicating with the mind of Buddhism, he spoke: "This matter is indeed the fault of the Great Burning Temple, and we should compensate Hanshan Academy and Xie Jiashu's benefactor." ”
"Senior Brother Atina, how to compensate for it, you can decide for yourself."
Atina is the Dharma name of the second elder of the Great Burning Temple, and when the Great Elder Ashuti passed away and the abbot did not come out of retreat, he was the presiding officer of the entire Great Burning Temple.
Now that the Holy Buddha of Lingshan had spoken, he didn't have much to say, so he could only discuss with a few other elders.
As a result, they proposed several holy relics, but Li Xiangyun did not respond, obviously did not take a fancy to it and refused.
In the end, there was no way, so the second elder had no choice but to say, "Master Li, what holy relics do you need to return the ancestor plaque?" ”
Li Xiangyun replied: "Master Atina, you are the master, I am the guest, and they all say that the guest is as the master wants, how can the juniors choose by themselves?" It's not good, it's not good! ”
The second elder resisted the urge to scold, and replied in a muffled voice: "The continents have been turbulent recently, and I want to come to Master Li Shi's busy affairs, and he is also in a hurry to return to Beizhou, why bother to delay?" ”
"What does the donor fancy in my temple, you might as well say it bluntly."
Li Xiangyi looked at the second elder with a resentful face, and then looked at the Ghanaian Holy Buddha and the sacrificial wine seniors with different expressions, and said with a wry smile: "How bad is this, it seems that the younger generation has bad intentions from the beginning, and it is as if they have been eyeing a certain holy object in your temple for a long time." ”
The second elder glared at him, and he couldn't bear it anymore if he didn't say anything.
Do you really think that the dignified Tantric Ancestral Temple has no temper at all? Don't deceive people too much!
"Bodhi!" Without waiting for the second elder to finish scolding, Li Xiangyun spoke: "I heard that your temple has a Bodhi seed that has been collected for thousands of years, and I think it is very appropriate to use it as compensation." ”
"Bodhi?" The second elder subconsciously wanted to refuse.
This Bodhi tree seed is one of the most precious sacred relics of the Great Burning Temple, which was found by the ninth generation patriarch from outside the sky, and is suspected to have been left by Nirvana after the death of an ancient Buddha.
Even without this cause and effect, the Bodhi tree is the most important Buddha tree in Buddhism, and there are not even a few pure Bodhi sacred trees on the spiritual mountain.
However, when he looked at Li Xiangyi, he found that Li Xiangyun looked calm and light on the surface, but in fact his attitude was very resolute.
To make up for it, it is obvious that it is for this Bodhi.
If you don't give it, you will definitely not return the mountain gate plaque.
Now the plaque is at the foot of Li Xiangyi, who is comparable to the Great Sage of the Twelve Realms, if he refuses, he is afraid that the three Holy Buddhas will not be able to take it back in person.
After finally discussing with the other elders, the second elder nodded and said, "Okay, the temple has agreed, and then let people go to get the Bodhi seed." ”
Li Xiangyi thanked him: "Thank you, Master Atina." ”
The second elder said in a deep voice with a dark face: "Master Li, the mountain does not turn around, I hope that your academy will not make the same mistake as the temple, otherwise the old man will lead the monks of the whole temple to come to watch the ceremony!" ”
Li Xiangyi replied with a smile: "Thank you Second Elder for reminding you, the younger generation must keep it in mind, and never dare to bother the master to travel east." ”
The second elder was silent and stopped talking.
Soon, an elder of the Great Burning Temple took the Bodhi seed, put it in a quaint wooden box, and handed it to Li Xiangyi.
After Li Xiangyi checked it, he put it in his sleeve and thanked him again.
The elder and the second elder who sent Bodhi Zi didn't want to deal with this young scholar anymore.
Those young monks glared at Li Xiangyun's eyes, but they were full of anger, eager to immediately send this great demon in Confucian robes into the eighteenth layer of hell.
Li Xiangyi did not stay to continue to annoy people, and after the goal was achieved, he politely handed over the plaque, and even wiped it with his sleeve to show his sincerity before handing it over.
Then, no matter what the monks of the Great Burning Temple thought, they left with the Ma Tianshan Great Sacrifice Wine.
It's just that an old man and a young man just got up into the air against the wind, and a figure immediately chased behind them.
The two looked back and saw that it was the Holy Buddha of the Three Holy Buddhas, and they chased after them.
"Master Jiayu, is there anything else?" Ma Tianshan Grand Sacrifice Wine asked curiously.
It is very similar to the Holy Buddha of Ghana, as if the Holy Buddha of a mother's compatriot ignores him, but looks at Li Xiangyun and says: "Master Li Shi is comparable to the Great Sage of the Twelve Realms at a young age, and he has used the body of a realm to promote the rectification of heaven and earth. ”
Li Xiangyun and Ma Tianshan glanced at each other, and they both instantly understood the purpose of the other party's approach.
This is to save face for Buddhism.
The matter of chasing and killing Xie Jiashu in the Great Burning Temple, the Buddhism Gate does not take care of it, and the more trouble it makes, the more it will be embarrassed in the hundred holy places, and even affect the credibility of Lingshan.
Therefore, the three Lingshan Holy Buddhas retreated everywhere, as if they were afraid of Confucianism.
In the process, the holy Buddha has not said a word.
Now that the matter of the Great Burning Temple has been over, Jia Yu only came over, which seems to have nothing to do with the Great Burning Temple, but in fact he wants to fight for the Great Burning Temple and the Buddha's face.
Li Xiangyan squinted at him.
I understand that you want to fight for Buddhism, but you are not good at bullying the young, with your identity and status as a god and Buddha in Lingshan, shouldn't you look for this sacrificial wine senior next to you?
If you can win the sacrificial wine seniors, wouldn't you have more face than a Confucian junior who is better than me?
Although Li Xiangyun did not say these words, the Holy Buddha still read the meaning from his eyes.
It's just that he didn't care, and still looked at Li Xiangyi with clear eyes.
Ma Da Samurai looked at it and smiled, shook the feather fan and stepped aside.
Little guy, everything happened to you, and other people's grievances came from you, so you should deal with it yourself, the old man's main focus today is to watch the play on the side.
Li Xiangyun also understood the meaning of the eyes handed over by Ma Da Sacrificial Wine, and was a little speechless.
Actually, he really doesn't like to fight with people.
But since he couldn't escape, he had no choice but to continue.
So he raised his hand and said, "Since this is the case, then please, and please be merciful to the Holy Buddha's subordinates, the kid is really not good at fighting." ”
