Chapter 312: Descending the Dragon
"Haha, Master Ma Fan broke through today, and his strength has been greatly improved, which is really gratifying!"
As a hearty laugh fell, I saw nine monks suddenly appear in the south.
The nine monks lined up in front of Ma Fan, eight monks in black robes, and a slender monk in a white wide robe, which made people unconsciously fall on the monk in the white robe.
Ma Fanguan is more than thirty years old, with black hair, lofty spirit, wide sleeves, and a noble and elegant atmosphere. A handsome face with a faint smile, this smile makes people feel extremely gentle, and behind it there are countless purple Sanskrit words looming, which makes it have an extra mysterious aura on it.
If you talk about the people Ma Fan has seen, there are many who are handsome than this person, but there are few whose temperament can be compared with this person. This person's handsome appearance and mature aura, coupled with his unique temperament, can be called the first among the people Ma Fan has ever seen.
And the black-clothed monks behind the white-robed monks all looked solemn, and the aura revealed was also calm, dignified, and even made people feel harsh at a glance, which formed a sharp contrast with the white-robed monks.
Ma Fan congratulated himself as soon as he saw these monks, and he was quite polite, as the saying goes, he didn't hit a smiling person when he stretched out his hand, so he also smiled and said: "In front of such an unfathomable master as your masters, what is my strength?"
I only heard the white-robed monk smile and said: "Master Ma Shi is modest, although we seem to be above you, it is just because of how many years older I am, at the age of Master Ma Shi, the little monk is still a mortal who doesn't know what to practice."
Not to mention those with dull qualifications such as us, let's just say that at this age in the major sects today, there are not many people in the world who can have such cultivation as you, and whose cultivation is so stable. ”
Ma Fan smiled and asked, "I don't know what the masters call them, why are you here?"
The white-robed monk smiled and said, "The poor monk descends the dragon, and I am here today only because Master Ma and Master Leng are both people who are related to my Buddhism, so I have come to guide you to my Buddhism." ”
"Descend the dragon! Damn, I didn't expect to meet such a great god. Hearing that this person was in front of him, Ma Fan's heart shook violently.
In later generations, although the status of the eighteen Arhats is not high, but it is the core of Buddhism, and the reputation is great, and the dragon is the boss of the eighteen Arhats, and they have a pivotal position in Buddhism, and their reputation is even louder. Even the reincarnation of the dragon, the name of Jigong, was a household name in later generations.
Knowing that it was the Dragon Descending Arhat in front of him, Ma Fan's eyelids twitched violently, and he said with a smile: "Thank you Arhats for your love, but I am currently entangled in the world, and if I don't enter the Buddha Gate without all these mundane things, I am afraid that it will pollute the tranquility of the Buddha Gate." ”
The descending dragon smiled and said: "Hehe, the donor really has a wisdom root and is related to my Buddha, otherwise he would not be able to say such words." It seems that my previous feeling is right, and the donor should enter my Buddhism.
My Buddhism is dedicated to helping people out of the sea of suffering, and the donor is now entangled in the worldly things, struggling in the sea of suffering and can't get out, and I have a fate with my Buddha, but I have to spend it.
As long as the donor enters my Buddha door and refines the Buddha's hair, he will soon be six roots of tranquility, and the dust is over, so the donor might as well come from us today!"
Ma Fan smiled bitterly: "Please let me go down for a while!"
The dragon descended and said, "How long will you be allowed to?"
With all due respect, I see that the donor seems to have entered the devil's path, and he has entered the devil quite deeply, and his life is already in danger, and at this moment, only my Buddha can save him, and the donor will be more dangerous when he enters my Buddha Gate one day. ...,
The donor should consider thinking about it earlier!"
Leng Yumo was very surprised by Ma Fan's behavior, so he asked, "Why are you so polite to these bald donkeys?"
Ma Fan glanced at him coldly, and said, "These monks are powerful, it's better to deal with them carefully!"
Leng Yu listened silently and said, "It's just a few decades earlier than us, so the strength may not be so strong?"
Ma Fan said: "Decades? Could it be that you know where they come from?"
Leng Xuan said silently: "There is only one temple in my Nanzhan Buzhou, and there are only a few monks in it, and the information of the few slightly famous ones is not a big secret in the Daomen, how can I not know it?"
Ma Fan asked, "Then where does this dragon come from?"
Leng Yu silently said: "It is rumored that Yongping has been in the seventh year, and I don't know which Buddhist sect is capable of tricking the mystery and giving the Ming Emperor of the Han Dynasty a dream.
Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty didn't know the truth, but he was confused, and sent Cai Su and other eighteen people to the west to seek Buddhism.
These eighteen people invited the two monks of Jiaye Morteng and Zhu Falan in the west in the tenth year of Yongping, and carried the Buddha statues and scriptures to Luoyang on white horses. Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty decreed to build a monastery outside the Yongmen Gate in Luoyang, in order to remember the merits of the White Horse Sutra, so the name of the monastery is the White Horse Temple.
Later, the Ming Emperor ordered the two monks of Jiaye Morteng and Zhu Falan to preach the scriptures, and asked to engage in the Chinese translation of the Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures.
And the eighteen people who were sent to the West Heaven at the beginning were all ordained in the White Horse Temple, and now this descending dragon is the head of the eighteen people. ”
When Ma Fan heard this, he asked: "These monks can gain a firm foothold in the Nanzhan Continent ruled by the Daomen, I'm afraid their skills are not weak, this Dragon Descending Venerable in front of me, I'm afraid that the strength is not much worse than the Golden Immortal level, a finger can crush us, plus those eight helpers, we have no chance of winning at all, you must not make a rash move, I will tell them in good words." ”
Leng Yu glanced at Ma Fan silently, and said, "What do you think are the masters of the Golden Immortal level? These monks can have the combat power of the late Yuan Infant to reach the sky." ”
Ma Fan said: "I'm afraid this is impossible! If they have such strength, I'm afraid they will be destroyed by the Dao Sect a long time ago, how can they be allowed to exist for so many years?"
Leng Yumo said with some disdain: "Then you are shallow! It is precisely because these people are not very strong that they have been able to preach in Nanzhan Continent for so many years, if they were stronger, I am afraid they would have been driven out of Nanzhan Continent long ago." ”
Marfan asked, "Why is that?"
Leng Yu said silently: "In the War of the Gods, after the two religions of human interpretation and the Western religion joined forces to kill the sect, it was the Nanzhan Continent that was assigned to the two religions of human interpretation.
Over the years, although the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism are still harmonious, they have secretly seen who is not pleasing to the eye. Buddhism only sent a few small fish and shrimp to Nanzhan Buzhou, that is a trivial matter, the Taoist can turn a blind eye and tolerate it.
But if the Buddha Sect really dares to send a master over, the Daomen will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely resolutely fight back. ”
