Chapter 208: Encounter on the Way Home
I saw that the horses gathered in a small open space were not only stout and well-proportioned and powerful, but also all of them were of the same color, and there was not a single stray hair at all! The oily coat shone brightly in the sun, and the momentum of the divine horses could be seen at a glance. Although the whole herd of horses is extraordinary, which makes people feel quite dazzled, but after a lot of waiting and comparison, one of the jujube red horses still attracted the great attention of Yang Dingtian. I saw that the horse's waist and back were round, the limbs were stout, and the whole body was smooth and smooth above the neck was a row of neatly trimmed manes; when he walked, the mane shook and shook, which made him even more powerful among the divine horses!
After inspecting it, he saw that everyone was full of praise, and Yang Dingtian immediately bought it and gave it to Sesi. With this mount, they set out again the next day, and in just half a day's effort, the group had already covered most of the distance from Dawan to Wumu. Although Wumu was not far away, Yang Dingtian, who had the heart to place Cexi in his cousin's house, couldn't help but feel anxious.
In a hurry, seeing that the jujube red horse was already exhausted, Yang Dingtian simply took Sexi under his ribs and started to move forward. At this time, although Yang Dingtian was moving forward with a heavy load, after the body method was unfolded, except for Ziyi and Wan'er, who could barely keep up, the four Dharma Kings were soon left far behind. After traveling all the way to the house of Sesi's cousin in the city, although his cousin's family was always enthusiastic and tried their best to keep it, Yang Dingtian, after learning that it was close to the Middle Earth boundary, still hurriedly said goodbye to the next morning and hurried to the front of Tubo.
After coming to Tubo that day, when everyone was looking for a place to stay in the city, they met Baolong King and others who followed all the way. "Why do you go to great lengths to follow all the way?" Looking at the old Dharma Kings who were in the dust, Yang Dingtian rushed out of his mouth without pity. 'Now that we have identified ourselves as the masters, we should be at the hands of the masters!' the four Dharma Kings replied in unison. "I don't want to hide it from you! I'm from a hard background, so where do I need someone to serve me?" Besides, we are already our own brothers, so we don't need to be so particular about it in the future!' Seeing this, Yang Dingtian said anxiously.
After a little gossip, after learning that Yang Dingtian and the others had nowhere to stay, King Baoshu immediately proposed, "I have a friend Master Gu Mozhi here!" After learning that this person was his best friend and had not seen him for many years, the group immediately went to the Golden Light Temple where the master of Kumachi was.
After arriving, he had just stood still, and saw an old monk with a gloomy face greet him. 'Master Kumazhi, I haven't seen you for many years, and everything is okay with you?' After entering with the old monk, King Baoshu hurriedly approached and greeted. The old man is quite passable! His Holiness has not diminished in the past, and this is really gratifying. Nakumachi replied. If it weren't for the blessing of my new head of the family, I'm afraid I would already be too old!' Seeing his situation, King Baoshu hurriedly retreated to Yang Dingtian's side.
'Has the Xingzhu faction changed its head again?' The master came, and the little monk was rude. Seeing this, Na Gu Mozhi was suddenly startled, and then his expression became solemn and respectful. 'But the master doesn't need to see outside, we are all my own brothers. Seeing this, Yang Dingtian pointed at the four Dharma Kings and chuckled. "This person is still young, and he has already become the head of the Star Sect of the Heroes of the Western Regions! It seems that if it is really a human being, it is not good-looking...... "After Gu Mozhi was shocked again, he hurriedly invited the group into the main hall to serve tea.
After sitting down in the hall, he exchanged pleasantries again, and seeing that Gu Mozhi had just started gossiping and then showed a melancholy look, Yang Dingtian immediately asked the reason. "The little monk's situation today is all due to my master's ......', and after the inquiry, the Kumachi sighed lightly, and even told him about the fact that he followed Hamarosh to Middle-earth to compete in martial arts, and after he was defeated, he insisted on staying in Middle-earth.
'Alas, I think that my master was nearly seventy years old at the time, and now that decades have passed, I am afraid that he is long gone! How can I be at ease when I think that my master will not be able to send him to his death when he dies?' "I'm about to return to Middle-earth!" where is the Venerable Master now?' Seeing that his mind was uneasy, Yang Dingtian blurted out. In the early years, it was confirmed that it was in the Shaolin Temple, but it is not known at present. Kumachi smiled bitterly.
If you are lucky enough to meet the Venerable Master in the future, we will definitely bring the Master's mind. Seeing that he seemed suspicious, Yang Dingtian, who couldn't bear it, blurted out. "In this way, there is a lot of work...... "After Kumachi thanked him, he ordered someone to clean the guest room. After the order to go down, as soon as the meal was ready, Kuma Zhidang led everyone to go and chatted while eating. After gossiping during the banquet, Yang Dingtian realized that this Gu Mozhi was not only very familiar with the rivers and lakes of the Western Regions, but also very familiar with the rivers and lakes of the Middle Earth! Especially when he talked about the various sects and factions in the Central Plains, he was even more familiar with the treasures of several families.
It seems that although this Gu Mozhi is in Buddhism, he is actually a living character. Listen to his words, and the sun will be dark. After eating a little food, and then introducing the group into the guest room and placing them one by one, Gu Mozhi retired and left. At this time, although Yang Dingtian was quite tired, because of the homesickness aroused by his words, thinking that Middle-earth was already close at hand, he tossed and turned all night but did not feel sleepy. Seeing that the sky was already bright, he immediately set off for Dali when King Baoshu and the others went to say goodbye to Gu Mozhi.
As soon as he entered the city, Yang Dingtian felt a strong hometown atmosphere. I saw that most of the shops and buildings on both sides of the street were in the Central Plains style, and the endless flow of people on the street were all Han faces without exception. At this moment, looking at the familiar scenery in front of him and listening to the thick country sound, Yang Dingtian looked around greedily, for fear of missing every small scene. It was almost noon, and when Yang Dingtian was about to find a place to stay, he suddenly saw a crowd of people rushing out of the city.
'How can so many people leave the city when such a situation has come?' It turned out that at the beginning of the month, the Dali monk Zen Master Xuan Ming wanted to open the altar in Tianlong Temple to give a lecture today. It is said that in his early years, he was the son of the Dali Kingdom, but later he was forced to succeed to the throne by the Dali Emperor at that time; seeing that he could not resign, he escaped into the empty door and became a monk...... "Ah? This is new! A dignified prince of the king, who does not sit on the throne, but wants to become a monk?" After listening to the narration, Yang Dingtian could not help but immediately become interested.
After confirming that the place where the altar was opened and preached was located in the Tianlong Temple mentioned by Gu Mozhi yesterday, Yang Dingtian inquired about the path and went straight to the Tianlong Temple. "What a spectacular scene of Buddhist events!" After finding the place where the altar was opened, Yang Dingtian was suddenly taken aback by the situation in front of him. I saw that on an earthen platform in the center of the three white pagodas in the Tianlong Temple, which covers a fairly large area, there was an old monk facing the audience at this time, and there were hundreds of good men and women chattering endlessly. Although there were many believers in the audience, all of them sat cross-legged in the center of the flower bushes planted with mandala flowers everywhere, and they all looked pious and listened attentively. This white and flawless mandala flower, coupled with the quiet and incomparably pious demeanor of the believers, reflects the serene and eloquent old monk on the stage, "What a pure and peaceful Buddha Pure Land scene!" Yang Dingtian couldn't help but praise.
However, in the midst of this incomparably peaceful atmosphere, an extremely discordant scene suddenly appeared not long after! I saw a bloodstained monk running to the old monk in a panic and reporting, "Master Yu: The group of thieves who came to the temple to steal things the day before yesterday have come to the temple again today......!" It's just that this time these people no longer hide their tracks, but openly go to the Tibetan scripture building to rob it! We can't resist it, so we are ...... by them, "What has been robbed?" The old monk's calm tone did not change at all. 'The Lotus Sutra, the Lengyan Sutra, and the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra of Merit and Merit were seven other books, and more than 90 sutras were snatched away...... ' the monk replied. Since Buddhism is all about universalizing sentient beings, there is no need to make a fuss about it. The old monk was still at peace.
"This Zen Master is really extraordinary!" After learning that this old monk was the abbot of Tianlong Temple, Yang Dingtian couldn't help but be in awe. After watching and listening for a long time, Yang Dingtian got up and followed, until there were few people who asked the question, and the Zen Master had also gotten up and left. "Master, I am polite" After following him all the way to the meditation room, as soon as he stood still, Yang Dingtian hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute first. 'Who is the benefactor?' The Zen Master blurted out after looking his attire up and down. It's just that yesterday in Tubo, I heard that Master Jiu Mozhi admired Tianlong Temple, so I came to your temple to pay homage to the presiding master. Yang Dingtian gave another salute. "Do you know that Gumazhi?" After the fleeting look of surprise on the face of the Zen Master of the Obscure, he still ordered someone to bring the seat, and asked the sun to sit down. At this time, when he spoke again, when he learned that Yangdingtian was actually a descendant of Liugong Island, the Zen master of the obscure Ming Dynasty looked relieved and ordered someone to prepare a meal.
