Chapter 32 The only student who did not wear headphones for the listening test

"Eh, Daoist Li?"

Li Chuzheng came to the foot of Hongdu Mountain with a mighty team, and a person saw him from a distance and said hello.

Hearing the shout, Li Chu followed the sound and looked at it, only to see a huge bald head.

"Master Shenmu?"

Li Chu was also surprised, he didn't expect to meet him here. But after thinking about it, as a disciple of Buddhism, it is much more reasonable for Monk Shenmu to appear here than to appear here himself......

The Shenmu monk greeted him from the viewing table over there and said with a smile: "Why did you come to Shenluo City?"

"Come here and do something. Li Chuying said: "You are also here to participate in the Buddha Fate Meeting?"

"yes, but something happened. Shenmu scratched his head and sneered: "The master said that I have a fate, so I was asked to participate in the conference." Who knew that I was going to Shenluo City to give lectures in the first round of this year, and as soon as I put up the Dharma platform, a few birdmen came over to make trouble, and they actually handed out leaflets and gifts to find people to listen to the scriptures elsewhere...... As a result, the competition was in vain. ”

Unilateral fighting......

Li Chu had a fire of complaining in his heart.

"Huh?" Shenmu suddenly raised his head in the middle of speaking, "What do you mean by 'also'?"

"Because...... I'm also here to attend the Buddha Fate Meeting. Li Chu said indifferently.

"Huh?" The eyes of the Shenmu monk suddenly became solemn, he leaned a little closer, and lowered his voice and said: "You shouldn't be here to go undercover, right? Daomen is finally going to attack Buddhism?

“......”

Li Chu shook his head speechlessly, "It's just that life is forced to come out and do some part-time jobs." ”

The Shenmu monk looked at him suspiciously, but he seemed to have something, turned around and looked at it, and then turned back and said, "Don't say more, I'm here with my master and third master this time." In addition to participating in the Buddha Meeting, I will also stay in the White Dragon Temple for a few days. I'll talk to you again when the conference is over. ”

"Okay, there is a Deyun branch in the south of the city, you can come over there to find me when you arrive. ”

After the two fellows exchanged pleasantries, they separated again.

The monk returned to his seat at the Frost Gate Temple, where the abbot of the temple, Zen Master Ichishen, and the high-ranking Sankong Zen Master, were there. He is not afraid of his own master, but he is afraid of a deep Zen master, so he does not dare to be as free as before.

The gathering place of the Buddha Yuan Association is on the mountainside of Hongdu, a square in front of the gate of the White Dragon Temple. Attached to one side of the mountain wall is a viewing seat, where Buddhist monks from all over the world and some other high-ranking people are present.

In the central square were ordinary believers, and as the preacher from Shenluo City returned, nearly 10,000 people gradually gathered.

Some jugglers and vendors wandered through the crowd, and it was not lively for a while.

The contestants returned and handed over their lectures to the monks of the White Dragon Temple, where they also waited.

Li Chu's gaze wandered through the crowd for a while, and he found the target this time.

The second prince of the Immortal City of the Western Regions, Ye Shuo.

His appearance is also extremely outstanding among the mortal crowd, coupled with his warm eyes and warm temperament, it is easy to give people a good impression. There were a few elderly Buddhist monks around him who were talking to him, and it didn't look like a mention to the juniors, but like a peer discussion.

In the early years, the countries of the Western Regions had always been barbarian lands in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains.

However, after thousands of years of cultural influence, many civilizations in the Western Regions can now be called prosperous. In recent years, there are often outstanding people from the Western Regions who have entered the Central Plains, and they can also leave a strong mark on the picture scroll of the Heluo Dynasty.

Ye Shuo is obviously one of them.

This Buddha Yuan meeting may be the node when he takes off as the pride of heaven from the Western Regions.

It's a pity......

Li Chu touched his chin, the easiest way to not let him get the Buddha Yuan was to get it himself.

If not.

You may have to find a way to do it......

Well.

......

The second prince of the old city was talking with several Heluo monks, and suddenly felt a thorn in his back. As soon as I turned around, I saw a slightly handsome young man in Tsing Yi, looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

If others snooped on him like this, it would be prudent for Ye Shuo to suspect him of bad intentions. But seeing this person's appearance, Ye Shuo's thoughts went astray.

He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

How could the Central Plains give birth to such a person? I have never seen or heard of it in the Western Regions.

Is it the difference between soil and water?

Or is it the climate...... Temperature...... Illumination?

He didn't have time to think about it, because in the distance, two other subordinates from the Western Regions beckoned to him. He immediately confessed to several monks and went there.

Several Heluo monks are not annoyed, although Ye Shuo is young, he is practicing under the seat of the Aurora Bodhisattva in the Western Regions, and his seniority is terrifyingly high. Seriously, I'm afraid that Fashan Zen Master is a generation lower than him. And he is not only of high seniority, but also has an extremely profound grasp of Buddhism. Neither in terms of seniority nor Buddhism, can be regarded as a junior.

Ye Shuo took the two men to the side and asked, "How is it?"

"I can't find the appearance of the goddess of Luoshui, my subordinates have asked around, but there are a few painters who have painted the appearance of the goddess of Luoshui, but no matter whose painting it is, the face is particularly blurry, and it is said that it is the fog of the day. ”

"But the peony flowers in the city bloom undefeated in winter, obviously only the little princess's flower fairy body can do it, otherwise only the land fairy can have such mana. ”

As the two subordinates spoke, they took out a few scrolls and handed them over.

Ye Shuo opened them one by one, and the paintings were all similar scenes. The paintings are all scenes of the goddess of Luoshui entering the city, and the streets are full of flowers. Different angles and different brushstrokes, but the characters in the painting are all beautiful.

It's a pity that the face is somewhat blurred.

"The things in this place are what Xiaomei did, I'm afraid eight or nine will not leave ten. ”

Closing the picture scroll, Ye Shuo looked into the distance, in the direction of the Luoshen Pavilion, and muttered for a moment.

"I just don't know what she's trying to do?"

"My subordinates think that no matter what the little princess does, it must be related to the holy relic itself, and we shouldn't be able to guess our goal. The subordinate spoke.

"That's right. Ye Shuo nodded, and then snorted coldly: "I don't fight with them for holy things, and when I come here to participate in the Buddha Yuan Meeting, the eldest brother may laugh at me for being stupid." ”

"As everyone knows, only my master knows about this top secret. The method of manipulating the holy relics is hidden in the Gubenteng River Sutra of the White Dragon Temple. As long as I get the Tenghe Sutra, no matter which of them finds the holy relics, the holy relics will eventually be used by me. Hehe, the city lord of the old city, who else will I be?"

"Just ......"

"My little sister has always been smart, and I am not afraid of others, but I am only a little worried about her. ”

Hearing his words, another subordinate said in a sinister manner: "Why don't the second prince strike first......

Ye Shuo immediately glared at him fiercely!

The subordinate immediately knelt down in a hurry, and was about to beg for mercy, when he heard Ye Shuo say something.

"You still need to say? Hmph. ”

Turning around again, the cold glint in his eyes had disappeared, and he returned to a warm gaze.

"This is the Buddha Fate Society, those of you who have ghosts in your hearts and don't cultivate enough, don't stay often. In case a senior monk of the White Dragon Temple sees through the roots, it will be a bad thing. ”

"Yes!"

The two men nodded their heads and turned to leave.

At this time, his name was also being called from the high platform in the distance.

It turned out that the results of the first round had already come out, and the fifty people with the most real names on the lecture record would be selected to participate in the next round of the competition.

Ye Shuo was surprised to find that he was not the first.

Then look at the person standing in front of you...... He understood something.

It turned out to be the young man in Tsing Yi.

Hehe.

The second prince of the Immortal City sneered in his heart.

The people who listen to your lectures look at their faces, but the Buddha doesn't look at their faces. This Buddha fate, I am bound to win!

Fifty people should stand under the high platform, and most of them are Buddhist monks. It should all be young monks in the rest of the temples, similar to the identity of the gods.

They are probably the best of the younger generation in their respective temples, but when they come to the Buddha Yuanhui, they are not so outstanding.

When everyone is lined up, an old monk wearing a gorgeous robe ascends the high platform, which is the first seat of the Dharma Hall in the White Dragon Temple today, the younger brother of the Fashan Zen Master, and the Faqing Zen Master.

"Ladies and gentlemen. ”

If the Faqing Zen master is dry and pine, the sound is like a bell, and it resounds throughout the square in an instant.

"First of all, congratulations on standing out from the first round of the lecture competition, and the next round is the second round of the Buddha Yuan Society, this round is the same as in previous years, and the 'Forest of Steles Listening to the Scriptures' will be conducted. ”

Although it is already a classic link, for the sake of the new audience in the crowd, Zen Master Faqing still explained.

"In my White Dragon Temple, there is a 'ancestral tablet forest'. ”

He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of a sea of clouds in the middle of the mountain.

"There are twelve original ancient scripture inscriptions in the ancestral stele forest when Buddhism came to the west. There are also the essence of the scriptures engraved by the ancestors of the past generations when they had an epiphany, and there are a total of 62 inscriptions so far. ”

To this day, it is still possible to use the secret recipe to awaken the scriptures in it, and people can hear the chanting of the past. Such a scripture that carries the ancestor's last thoughts, ordinary people can't hear it at all. ”

"And the content of this competition is very simple, that is, you are to enter the ancestral stele forest and bear the sound of chanting in it. The one who lasts the longest wins. ”

It is important to note that the power of the scriptures can be diverted. So when the fifty of you bear it together, it may not be too strong, but it should not be taken lightly. As more and more people can't bear it, the power of the scripture will escalate. ”

"This is a test of your understanding, your heart, and your divinity...... The combination of many aspects is a very important quality for the cultivation of Buddhism. ”

"It's a challenge for you, but it's also a great opportunity. ”

I don't need to say this sentence, but any serious Buddhist disciple ...... It is impossible for an amateur Buddhist lover not to know how precious the scriptures left by the ancestors of the White Dragon Temple are.

If you can hear such a chanting, even if you can't understand it, as long as you write down a trace, it is enough to receive a lifetime of wealth.

Those Buddhist disciples all turned red with excitement.

Li Chu, who was standing at the forefront, just blinked.

Is it just listening to the Bible?

That difficulty should be okay.

......

On the viewing seat, the location of the Frost Gate Temple.

A deeply respected Zen master in Hangzhou Mansion only got a seat in the middle here.

With a faint smile, he glanced at the Shenmu monk next to him.

"What? makes you unable to control your temperament, and when you see people listening to the scriptures of your ancestors, are you very envious in your heart?"

The Shenmu monk did not hide it, pouting, "What is there to envy, envy them for fighting for the second?"

"Oh?" Zen Master Yishen raised his eyebrows: "Can you guess who is the first?"

The god-eyed monk pointed to the figure at the front.

"Look, Uncle Abbot, that's the Li Chu I mentioned to my master. The Shenmu monk smiled: "He can't lose anything compared to others." ”

"Is that unfathomable young man?" did your master mention it to me...... "Zen Master Yishen muttered, "but do I remember that he is not a Taoist?"

"Hi. The Shenmu monk touched his bald head and guessed: "I guess he may have received money to do a task, based on what I know about him...... Not to mention participating in a Buddha meeting, as long as the money is in place, he is not unable to shave. ”

......

The highest peak on Hongdu Mountain.

The delicate little monk in a wide monk's robe stood up again, standing in front of the cliff, looking at the distant sky, with a compassionate attitude.

The old monk stood respectfully behind him.

"Is this Buddha fate meeting still easy to do?"

After a long time, the little monk asked out loud.

"Alas. The old monk sighed, said in his heart that this scene was familiar, and then replied: "The people's hearts are not ancient, the world is hot and cold, and a temporary flower capital conference is ...... Attracted all the popularity......"

The little monk said: "Our Buddha relationship, which has been inherited for thousands of years, will become more and more disregarding, so how can the Buddha Speech Hall of Yunfu Temple be better and better?

"It's been reflected. The old monk nodded hurriedly.

"The result?"

"The people of Shenluo City ......," the old monk replied, "not serious." ”

"Huh. The little monk smiled, "You just reflect on this?"

"The disciple is stupid. The old monk paused again and again.

"You are dull, I am also dull, who in the world is not dull?" the little monk seemed to feel something, and sighed. It's just that his voice is too immature, and it doesn't sound like a sense of vicissitudes, but it's a little cute.

"I don't know if there will be supreme thunder in this Buddha Fate Meeting. ”

"The supreme thunder has not been seen in nearly twenty years. The old monk said: "As for the picture of the kingdom of heaven, it goes back hundreds of years. ”

"White Dragon Temple...... Haven't lost yet. The little monk looked up at the sky, "I haven't lost yet." ”

"I have been reincarnated in nine lifetimes, each of which is less than twenty years. In order to wait for this fairy fate to be fully prepared, I can't lose. ”

The old monk was silent.

He knew that there were topics he couldn't get into.

Maybe his cultivation is already the top in the world, but there are still some things, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to speak.

......

Buzz –

As the Faqing Zen Master made a string of complex seals, the vision of the ancestral stele forest opened.

Successive scriptures.

The contestants who were sitting in this ancient stele forest suddenly heard the mysterious chanting sound ringing in their ears. Travel through endless time and space, so close and yet so far away.

When you close your eyes, you can see the unimaginable virtuous monks carving their realms on the hard stone. Since then, the stubborn stone has turned into gold.

Strangely, the scriptures in the forest of steles are like thunder. Outside the stele forest, there was no sound.

Because, in fact, these verses are just some residual thoughts, and the voices they hear are poured directly into the soul.

For help, you can steal book tickets like vegetables, come and steal your friends' book tickets and vote for my book.

The outside world naturally perceives less than half of it.

From the moment the first verse was spoken, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of some contestants.

The spiritual coercion of this scripture ...... Absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people. Mortals who hear even one syllable will immediately vomit and faint.

Many monks sit cross-legged, trying to stabilize themselves by entering meditation. But the more you close your eyes, the clearer the scriptures echo in your mind. In an instant, there was a vision!

"Hua Qiluo is my wife! Hua Qiluo is my wife!"

In a moment, one of the contestants stood up and shouted something.

The Faqing Zen Master outside the stele forest frowned, and with a wave of his sleeves, a gust of wind lifted the man out.

"After only a few moments, I couldn't hold on anymore and fell into an illusion. Zen Master Faqing shook his head.

He looked around with a pair of bright eyes, and most of the contestants in the forest were still meditating quietly.

Only three or two people began to move, gradually dancing hand to hand, and there were signs of elimination at any time.

And the contestant who was born as a Taoist priest was also among them.

Zen Master Faqing nodded with satisfaction. It's a good thing that he's eliminated. The Buddha Yuan of the White Dragon Temple can not be called to the end of the Taoist.

Li Chu was indeed frowning at this time, looking left and right.

This level was actually more difficult than he imagined.

The difficulty is ......

"Why can't I hear a single sound?"

Li Chu looked at the front and back, left and right, or frowned, or gritted his teeth, or sweated, or roared...... All kinds of expressions that seem to be wearing a mask of pain.

And I was like the only student who didn't wear headphones in the listening test.

Can't help it.

Lost in thought.

Is there a problem with me?

Still is...... Do they have a problem?

Li Chu was a little unconfident for a while.
