Rotten Ke Temple,

In the barren and boundless land of the Western Regions, this palace group exists like a bright pearl, surrounded by towering city walls, which are made up of 60,000 dry bones, which is said to be the wall of a temple, but it is no less than the city of any giant city in the world.

Inside,

Among the extremely gorgeous palace groups, four towering stone pillars support the main body of the main hall, the whole palace group consumes a total of one thousand and two wooden pillars to the sky, the dome paved with colorful glaze, there is a jade dragon knot on the golden beam, the brocade embroidery pattern is all around, the four corners are auspicious and auspicious, all have the Bodhisattva's dependents around.

The statues in the main hall seem to have an umbrella cover, and when an old monk wearing a big red robe pushes the door from outside the main hall, the sound of gold and jade coral is heard.

The soles of the old monk's shoes stepped on the copper soles and walked away,

Looking up,

The morning sun falls on the Buddha statue through the colorful glass,

It is full of light to illuminate the whole body,

This is the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha,

Shakyamuni is like a giant under the heavenly firmament,

Look at the two eyebrows of the Buddha statue connected as if pulling open like a bow, the center of the eyebrows is white and prominent, the eyes are slightly opened, the expression is quiet and kind, wearing the right robe, the thin clothes are close to the body, the double line clothing pattern is engraved, the three-dimensional folds of the clothes are molded at the edge of the clothes, and the half of the body that only exposes the ground is more than 30 zhang high.

When the morning sun falls on the Buddha statue,

Thousands of rays of light rise from the whole giant Buddha,

Look closely at the whole Buddha statue is actually covered with gold leaf, although a gold ingot can be hammered out of a large area of gold leaf under the hands of skilled craftsmen, but even so, the gold cost of this giant Buddha is incalculable, just thousands of years to repair can make ordinary small countries pour all their own, compared to the Buddha statue of Lingyin Temple is not worth mentioning.

The old monk in a big red robe sat cross-legged on the brass floor, looked at the giant Buddha of Shakyamuni, turned to look at the rising sun in the east, pondered for a long time, and finally faced the east, his lips opened lightly and read the scriptures softly.

Outside the main hall,

A monk dressed in cloth stepped into the temple,

"Khenpo Rinpoche, more than half a month has passed since the fall of Lingyin Monastery, and Guru Shantra has not yet returned to my Monastery, do you want to send monks to welcome him back?"

After the cloth-clothed monk knelt down to worship the Buddha statue, he asked softly, the eyeliner of the Langke Temple also followed the footprints of the merchants in the Western Regions, all over the world, although it was not as detailed and comprehensive as the intelligence sources of the Espionage Division, but it was by no means a blind or deaf person.

"Hey......"

A soft sigh came,

"More than 50 years ago, the living Buddha went deep into the East for the mission, and in less than a year with Buddhism defeated more than 900 temples, the person who can be called the true reincarnation of the 32nd Guru Padmasambhava, and also the Zhongxing person of my Langke Temple, but after ascending the Lingyin Temple, there is no news. ”

In the past 50 years, the life lamp of the Living Buddha has never been extinguished, but it has not sounded for half a minute, and it is not difficult to imagine how much suffering the Living Buddha has experienced over the years. ”

"Ben Khenpo (co-host) also thought about raising the power of the temple to rescue the living Buddha, but the eastern land has been occupied by the pseudo-Buddhism, if it is a big move, I am afraid that the Daqing court at that time will not ignore it, plus my Xiling County is the land of Daqing, there is really nothing to do, I can only let it go. ”

"It dragged it down, but it was delayed for more than 50 years, and the people of this boundless place in the Western Regions may have forgotten the glory of the Living Buddha of the Silence, and forgot his dedication to the Rotten Ke Temple, and I am ashamed of the Living Buddha of the Lonely Ke Temple......

"But now there is a living Buddha ......"

His Holiness Rinpoche looked at the distant east and muttered, a hint of shame in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated, because in the eyes of the Monastery, the living Buddha was already following the young man in a python robe, and in a sense, he seemed to have fallen under the imperial power.

Rinpoche is an honorific title in Buddhism in the Western Regions, and the honorific title for all practitioners who have great knowledge, great wisdom, and great compassion is Rinpoche, which shows that the old monks in the main hall have a high status in the countries of the Western Regions, not all living Buddhas are Rinpoche, maybe they are just the reincarnation of a great monk who has passed away.

If a devotee wants to be a living Buddha as Rinpoche, then in this life he cannot only rely on the merits of the previous life, but also need to study the Dharma diligently in order to change from a "djuku" to a truly worthy Rinpoche, in a sense, the old monk in front of him can be regarded as a down-to-earth step by step climb to this position.

"The Living Buddha is just trying to make compromises. ”

"When I return to my Rotten Ke Temple, I will definitely be able to restore its glory!"

"You must know that the Living Buddha is the reincarnation of Lotus Huasheng, and I am the supreme person of the Rotten Ke Temple, and the devotion of faith is more than a thousand times better than ours, how can I be as humble as the pseudo-Buddha in the east and serve under the imperial power. ”

The cloth-clothed monk said very firmly,

When he mentioned the old monk, he had a very fanatical worship in his eyes.

"Perhaps......"

His Holiness Rinpoche did not want to argue with him, as he was one of the last people to experience the glory of the old monk, to witness his glory, to hear him chant the Buddha, and to see him as the leader of Buddhism, and arguably his staunchest supporter.

Fifty years ago, there were many such people in the Rotten Ke Temple,

But most of them are already old,

You must know that not everyone can set foot on such a thing as cultivation, and the life span of ordinary monks is no different from that of ordinary people, at most they can live for more than ten years in self-cultivation and cultivation, but for fifty years, most of those people have turned into a dry bone.

Perhaps,

Perhaps,

When this group of people is dead,

Maybe no one will question his words.

His Holiness Rinpoche stood up and looked at the magnificent giant Buddha and thought.

He and the living Buddha are both reincarnated, even if he has been away for so long, he can still leave such a great prestige in the Rotten Ke Temple, perhaps the biggest difference is that he has a good birth.

After all, the reincarnation of Guru Padmasambhava and his own reincarnated monk must be very different, and the moment he was born, he was already at the top of his penance.

"In addition, His Holiness Rinpoche now that the Lingyin Monastery in the east has been destroyed, I don't know if His Highness is stepping on the rivers and lakes together, or if he has the intention of destroying the Buddha. ”

The cloth-clothed monk pondered for a moment before replying.

"Destroy the Buddha?"

His Holiness Rinpoche's complexion did not change in the slightest.

"I have thousands of believers in the Western Regions of 53 or 3 countries, and I can gather 100,000 people in armor in an instant, although I can't resist the Liangzhou Iron Horse, but now there are family gate lords in the country, and there are Qi outside, Wei Zhi, why did he send troops to my Rotten Ke Temple?"

"Stalemate, I'm afraid, it's not my worry about the destruction of the Rotten Ke Temple!"

"It's that he is the disaster of the country's destruction!"

His Holiness Rinpoche looked at the realm of the East and said unhurriedly, "The foundation of the Ranke Monastery for more than 1,500 years is the accumulated heritage, which is far from being comparable to those Jianghu sects in the East.

Standing on top of this great temple,

has already stood on top of all living beings in the Western Regions,

His Holiness Rinpoche looked under the copper earth,

Slowly stepping up, like a god, looking at the thousands of fanatical believers who were struggling to worship, that feeling of being on top, on this hall, every step is the feeling of stepping on the clouds, which is wonderful.

As for the imperial army, why should the Tiangao Emperor be worried, in the Western Regions, what is the difference between himself and the high king?

Venerable Rinpoche smiled,

The compassionate face makes people shudder.

......

Three days later,

Xikou Pass,

The gateway connecting the fifty-three kingdoms of the Western Regions with Xiling County,

It is also the only way for the Rotten Ke Temple to reach the Western Regions,

now

Looking down from the sky,

Countless soldiers of the Western Regions wearing military uniforms are coming from outside the pass, the smoke and dust are billowing, the momentum is huge, and from a distance, it seems that there are no less than 50,000 people, divided into three roads, and the banners are clear.

"The barbarians are closed!"

"The barbarians are closed!"

The veteran who was gnawing on the bread looked at the soldiers gathered in the distance, and was so frightened that the bread in his hand fell to the ground, and his legs couldn't stop trembling.

"Soldiers, don't mess up!"

"Not an enemy!"

After the general guarding the pass walked out, after seeing the bright flags, he breathed a sigh of relief, he received a secret letter from the Liangzhou Espionage Department yesterday. The letter explained the rest of the matter in detail, and now it is not panicked.

"Open the gates!"

The guard shouted,

"Squeak squeak......"

The heavy gates of the city slowly opened,

Leaning over,

The soldiers of the Western Regions below are dusty, most of them are wearing leather armor, and the weapons in their hands are not sophisticated, and they are not even as good as the iron weapons eliminated in the hands of themselves and others, but only that wild nature is far better than their own, which is the temperament that can only be cultivated in the vast barren land on the border of the Western Regions.

This is also Qu Xian, Ruoqiang, Khotan, the three kingdoms dare to destroy the Buddha's confidence, perhaps their nobles, their people, and even their relatives have fallen under the Rotten Ke Temple, but only this army has been cultivated since childhood, has always maintained independence, without the slightest intention of letting the monks interfere, and also did not experience the brainwashing of Buddhism.

If the whole Western Regions were full of people singing and dancing,

and destroy the Buddha,

It was a big joke.

"Princess Luo, the rest of the matter is all up to you!"

The guard looked at the woman from the Western Regions who was smiling and touching beside him, and said solemnly, looking carefully, there was a tiger talisman hanging from the woman's waist at the moment.

"His Royal Highness's courage is far beyond the imagination of the little woman, His Royal Highness can be trusted, and it is also the blessing of the little woman, this tiger talisman is also asked to be kept by the general, and then returned to His Royal Highness. ”

The woman looked at the soldiers of the headquarters who had entered the city and untied the tiger talisman on her waist and handed it out, this was more like a token to herself, and she was not stupid enough to command the soldiers of Daqian.

"As for the rest of the matter, General Zhang can rest assured, the little woman promised His Royal Highness, she will naturally do it, unless all the soldiers are killed, she will never let a soldier from the Western Regions step into the West Pass half a step, this is the little woman's promise!"

The woman of the Western Regions cut the railway,

The coquettish face reveals an indescribable heroism.

"Apa, just hold on for the next few days. ”

"Then the rest of the days will be when the glory of my Quxian royal family will spread all over the Western Regions, and the shackles on our shoulder blades will also be cut off by the long knife in our hands!"

The west exit is closed,

The woman from the Western Regions looked at the vast land in front of her in a daze,

"After this battle,"

"Our cattle and sheep will no longer pay tribute to the temple......"

"Our family members will no longer be struggling to knock on the Buddha......"

"Our children will no longer enter the monastery to practice......"

"We will use the blade in our hands to cut off the shackles that have bound us for thousands of years......"

A long skirt was lifted by the wind,

Ink-like long hair flutters gently,

The woman of the Western Regions has a touching beauty on her face,

The words are like the whispers of the devil in the ears,

......

Xiling County,

boundary

A town of Liangzhou iron horse set foot on this land,

Different from the vastness of Liangzhou,

Xiling County is a kind of barrenness,

"This is Xiling County?"

The young man muttered softly, there are mountains, rivers and plains in his eyes, but he always feels that something is missing, if he has to describe it, it is fireworks, and there is a little less fireworks that the world should have.

Xiling County, the terrain is high, in the words of later generations, the air is thin, except for a few aborigines, the imperial court is to move the people here It is impossible to get used to it, and the sparse population has become a problem in Xiling County.

"It's really off the beaten track,"

"It's no wonder that the previous dynasty was reluctant to govern. ”

"Let's do it quickly!"

The young man looked at the soldiers who were already a little uncomfortable behind him and said, even the world's first-class elite Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is difficult to fight in this land for a long time.

"This is also the reason why Guru Padmasambhava chose the site in the first place, a place where the imperial court could not be restrained, and only such a place could such a temple be built. ”

"The same high place also represents holiness, on this endless high mountain, there is even a very pure thing such as the Tianshan Snow Lotus grows, and the lotus Huasheng is also called "Padmasambhava", it is rumored that when the master was born, the lotus flowers in the city bloomed, and it was very strange. ”

The old monk on the side muttered.

"But under this holiness are innumerable dry bones. ”

The young man looked at the dazzling light reflected by the colorful glass on the dome of the temple in the distance and sighed lightly, wealth is gathered with the people's anointment, and the temple is built with the blood of slaves.

So where does faith come from?

The right hand is raised gently,

The iron rider began to gallop,

The red-clothed and black-armored iron rider turned into a torrent and spread all over the world,

over the mountains and mountains,

Finally arrived in this unknowable land.

......

In the eyes of the old monk,

The familiar tall city has come into view,

The towering dome of the main hall of the Giant Buddha enshrined in the Nalang Ke Temple continues to expand in the pupils, and the giant Buddha that carries the 1,500-year-old belief of the Buddha Kingdom in the Western Regions will eventually turn into ruins under the horse's hooves.

Under the tall castles,

"There should be no Buddha in this world!"

"Origin is Padmasambhava!"

"Fate is extinguished by Padmasambhava!"

The old monk muttered with his hands folded, his face was like a dry draft, thin as a ghost, and his smile was indeed like a spring breeze.
