Chapter 29: Twelve incense scars
At this moment, the entire process of the incense ceremony seemed to be suspended, and everyone's eyes fell on Daoji.
has already reached the sixth ring scar, and he is a disciple of the Longhai Holy Monk, I wonder if this incense scar can continue to be lit?
Several senior monks next to him who were giving incense stopped, and their eyes fell on Dao Ji's body, and the remaining hundreds of young monks in the square were even more looking forward to it.
Even the Tang Emperor Li Shimin stood up.
The appearance of six incense scars is a grand event.
What's more, this incense scar may continue to be lit!
Everyone wants to know how many scars they can reach in the end.
With his head down, he had successfully lit six incense scars, this much-anticipated situation made Daoji's heart a little excited, and in an instant, he became the center of attention, this feeling is obsessive.
However, Dao Ji lowered his head, no one could see his face clearly, only heard his voice trembling slightly with a hint of excitement: "Thank you, Master!"
The holy monk of Longhai did not speak, and the big incense in his hand fell on Dao Ji's bare head.
The wrist was raised, the incense was not extinguished, and the seventh incense scar was successfully imprinted!
Seven! Seven incense scars!
Ignoring what kind of thoughts the people next to him were, the Longhai Holy Monk hesitated slightly, and after taking a deep breath, Daxiang continued to nod towards Dao Ji's head.
The wrist is raised again.
The incense, as if it would never be extinguished, had already lit the eighth incense scar on Daoji's head.
The whole audience was so quiet that it seemed as if a pin could be heard.
All the people looked dumbfounded at the eight incense scars on Monk Daoji's head.
Such a Buddha fate is second only to the holy monk of Longhai.
Such a grand occasion is rare to see in decades.
Looking at the incense in his hand, the hands of the Longhai Holy Monk trembled slightly, and then slowly nodded towards Dao Ji's head.
If it is successful, then Dao Ji will be the second nine-scar monk in the Tang Dynasty, and in the eyes of the Longhai Holy Monk, he will soon be his only heir.
Everyone held their breath and watched the movements of the Longhai Holy Monk.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, this incense fell on Daoji's head for the ninth time.
After a long time, the Longhai Holy Monk raised his wrist.
On Daoji's head, nine incense scars are clearly visible!
Nine incense scars!
Countless people gasped, after decades, in the territory of Datang, there was finally a holy monk who thought that there were nine incense scars!?
And all those present are witnesses to today's pomp and circumstance.
The holy monk of Longhai, although he has long been a high-ranking monk, but in the face of such a grand occasion, his face was also red with excitement, and the hand holding Daxiang trembled slightly, and then he pointed towards Dao Ji's head again.
Only, this time, the incense was extinguished.
With a long breath, the incense was finally extinguished, and the Longhai Holy Monk didn't know what his emotions were for a while, and he seemed to be relieved, and he seemed to sigh regretfully.
After being silent for a moment and sorting out his emotions well, the holy monk Longhai returned the extinguished incense to the senior monk next to him, and looked at Daoji with joy and love in his eyes: "Amitabha, good disciple, your Buddha relationship is extremely deep, from now on, you are my disciple, in the future, this big Buddha temple will be handed over to you!"
"Thank you, Master!", in front of the people of the world, the words of the holy monk of Longhai made Dao Ji very happy in his heart.
The nine incense scars are enough to prove his Buddha's fate, and if he takes over the position of abbot of the Big Buddha Temple in the future, he will be the first monk of the Tang Dynasty.
"Congratulations to the holy monk, happy disciple!Congratulations to Senior Brother Daoji!", along with the words of the holy monk Longhai, all the monks present shouted in unison.
For Dao Ji to become a disciple of the holy monk, and for Dao Ji to be designated as the next successor of the Great Buddha Temple, everyone has only envy in their hearts, but there is no jealousy.
After all, the Buddha fate of nine incense scars is enough to explain everything.
"Senior brothers, senior brother is lacking in spirit, and the next matters will bother you", after helping Dao Ji up, the holy monk of Longhai said to the surrounding monks.
Suddenly, he got Dao Ji, a disciple who also had nine incense scars, and the Longhai Holy Monk was in a state of excitement, and he couldn't wait to teach him the profound Dharma, as well as the magical power of subduing demons and subduing demons.
Buddhism, unlike other exercises, if you want to practice higher quality Buddhism, you must have enough Buddha!
"Senior brother, please!", for the words of the holy monk of Longhai, several senior monks next to him returned the salute and said.
After waiting for decades, I finally waited for a successor who could inherit my mantle, and everyone could understand the excitement of the Longhai Holy Monk.
"Your Majesty, I hope you will forgive me! The poor monk and his disciples will retire first!", after a good explanation, the holy monk of Longhai said to Tang Emperor Li Shimin again.
"Holy monk, please, congratulations to the holy monk, the magic of Tianlong Zenyin has been inherited!", Tang Emperor Li Shimin also said sincerely, and did not open his mouth to stay.
After confessing his guilt, the holy monk of Longhai took Dao Ji and left the scene of the incense ceremony.
No one felt rude about this.
Another monk with nine incense scars appeared, and this matter is believed to soon spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, which is a rare grand occasion for Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.
However, although this incident is shocking, the work of giving incense gifts must continue after all.
It's just that the holy monks of Longhai have already left, and although this incense ceremony has not yet ended, it feels as if it is insignificant.
The matter of Dao Ji's nine incense scars is too shocking, and the next young monks came to the stage to teach incense, whether it is a disciple or a senior monk, it seems that the interest is not as high as before, and the atmosphere is not as warm as before.
"Gao Yang, let's go back too, we've already seen what we should see......."
Even the holy monk of Longhai left, and Tang Emperor Li Shimin had no interest in continuing to stay, and whispered to Princess Gaoyang next to him.
"Father, most of this incense gift has passed, so let's just have a beginning and an end", Gao Yang's gaze glanced at the remaining three or four hundred young monks, and replied without looking back.
"Okay, as you wish", Li Shimin's face smiled dotingly and nodded.
Jiang Liu was still waiting quietly in the crowd, and the next incense ceremony was decent, but there was no more eye-catching monk who appeared.
Even if there was a disciple with four incense scars, everyone didn't seem to be paying too much attention to it.
"Next, Jinshan Temple, Jiangliu".
After waiting for a while, Jiang Liu heard the voice calling himself, his body moved, and he walked to the stage.
Similarly, hearing this voice, Gao Yang on the stage also sat up straight, and a pair of beautiful eyes fell on Jiang Liu's body.
The gaze is like a magnet, and I can't take it off for a long time.
......
The Great Buddha Temple, above the main hall.
The holy monk of Longhai and Dao Ji respectively saluted a few pillars of incense to the golden statue of the Buddha above the main hall, and immediately, the eyes of the holy monk of Longhai fell on Dao Ji, and his expression was much calmer.
"Disciple, you can light the nine incense scars, the Buddha is profound, needless to say, this matter is gratifying, but it is also a pity."
"Please also ask Master to explain."
Happily, he can understand, but alas, Dao Ji felt incomprehensible and looked at Long Hai in surprise.
"As the saying goes, the higher the status, the greater the responsibility, the side things do not say for the time being, do you know why our Big Buddha Temple, to be located in Chang'an City? That is because at the beginning of the construction of Chang'an City, there was a demon cave under the ground, which led directly to the demon world, and my Great Buddha Temple suppressed it here, so as to keep a side of peace."
"However, the demon road is rampant, in recent years, it has been constantly impacting, even if the teacher has the magic power of Tianlong Zen sound, it is also a little insufficient, today you become my disciple, you should be awarded Tianlong Zen sound, and I hope you can help as a teacher in the future, help the whole world, and pick up this burden ......."
Hearing such a secret at first glance, Dao Ji looked shocked.
However, due to the righteousness, I also felt that my mood was agitated: "Master rest assured, disciple ......."
Knock knock!
It's just that before Dao Ji could express his attitude, suddenly, between heaven and earth, a distant bell sounded, as if it was far, far away, but it was extremely clear.
"What's wrong, how can the bell ring for the gift of incense!?", Dao Ji was surprised, but when the bell rang, it made people feel empty.
"Abbot!Abbot!".
At this moment, a young monk hurriedly ran into the main hall, came to Long Hai, and even fell to the ground, rolling in a ball.
"What's wrong?", looking at the disciple in front of him, who had lost his manners, the Longhai Holy Monk asked.
"Ten... Twelve incense scars...... Someone lit twelve incense scars ......".
