Jingzhaofu is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with a large population, even outside the city walls, there are still many spontaneously formed market towns dotted around the official roads, and a little farther away is the countryside such as farmland, except for the farmers who worked, few outsiders passed by.

Today, however, it is a little different, on a nondescript dirt road, a young monk in a white coarse cloth robe and mango shoes is walking alone.

Not far behind the monks, a huge crowd of people was rolling down the official road full of cars and horses, led by a middle-aged man in a green official robe and an old monk who was also dressed in clothes and shoes, all of them with solemn expressions.

Not for anything else, just because this young monk has a heavy and huge stone reclining Buddha on his shoulders, and its weight is more than a thousand pounds!

The young monk walked very steadily and slowly, sinking deep into the dirt under his feet with each step, making a series of shocking footprints on the path, and occasionally there were stones in the ground under his feet, which were also crushed.

The crowd behind him followed suit, holding their breath and carefully avoiding the footprints, and those who were fortunate enough to witness them all had a look of awe and reverence on their faces.

At the end of the dirt road, there is a fruitful peach forest.

When the young monk was halfway through, he suddenly stopped, and when he stopped walking, the crowd stopped.

He seemed to think for a moment, and finally slowly turned around, squatted, and gently placed the stone Buddha on his shoulder on the ground.

Rao is like this, still with a bang, as if the ground is moving.

The middle-aged official and the old monk immediately stepped forward to meet him.

This green-robed official is in his early thirties, his face is clear and civil, but his face is a little strangely pale.

"Twelve Masters, why don't you leave?"

The young monk known as the "Twelve Masters" looks very ordinary, and his facial features are not necessarily good when viewed separately, but somehow, these ordinary eyebrows and eyes are in one place, which makes people feel very pleasing to the eye, and even close to admiration, coupled with the pale yellow skin with the color of warm jade, anyone who sees it will feel that his appearance is refined and Buddha-like, as if it is as bright as the moon in the sky, and as clean as the lotus in the pool.

He smiled slightly when he heard this, put his hands together and said, "The little monk is exhausted, so please let me settle here." ”

The old monk glanced at the peach forest not far away, and said in amazement: "Uncle Shi, the feng shui here seems to be not good?"

The young monk looked at the old monk, and his tone was plain and solemn: "Tongcheng, what is the name of my Buddha?"

The old monk hurriedly bowed his head: "My Buddha is the special Buddha land of the Western Universe, the world of Guangfa, and the master of the Buddha." ”

"If you have a name, you can't come anywhere, and you can't stay there?"

When the old monk heard this, his face turned ashamed, his palms folded, and he said respectfully: "Follow the teachings!"

The middle-aged official stroked his palms and smiled: "The monk has profound Buddhism, and Yu has also benefited a lot!"

He turned around with a smile and said loudly: "The Twelve Masters invited the Buddha to come here today, it is a great event, the new Chang'an Order of the official is Yu Houlin, and the characteristics are to buy real estate near the left to support it, and all the original landlords can hold the land deed to the official office, and they will be compensated at the market price, together with the crops and acres that have just been trampled on by everyone, all will be compensated, so that the people will not be damaged." ”

Before the words fell, someone who looked like a wealthy businessman in the crowd immediately responded: "Why do you need to be like this, I am willing to fund the construction of a temple for the master, and I am willing to pay for the worship of the master. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed.

Yu Yulin nodded with a smile, turned around and arched his hand to the twelve monks: "Yu Mou is in office today, and the affairs are still complicated, so he will leave, and he will have time to talk about it again." ”

The young monk bowed down and said, "The donor walks slowly, and the little monk is less accompanied." ”

Yu Yulin bowed slightly, only turned around and took a few steps, and suddenly heard the noise behind the crowd, and followed the sound to see that a silver-armored horse team was galloping.

The man who rode the horse first waved his whip to drive away the people who stood in the way, and shouted: "The king of Lanling is here, everyone retreat!"

Everyone was startled and bowed their heads and ran away.

Now the most popular person in Beijing is not His Royal Highness Lanling, who is said to have penetrated into the 100,000 mountains of Yunzhou, swept away demons and barbarians, and beheaded countless people?

The silver-armored horse team cleaved the waves and approached in the blink of an eye, but fortunately, everyone deliberately avoided the dirt road because of the footprints of the twelve monks, but they did not hurt anyone.

Yu Fulin was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stopped, avoided the side of the road and tidied up his clothes, and then bowed to the ground: "Minister Chang'an ordered Yu Fulin, see the king!"

And the rest of the people fell on their knees.

The silver-armored horses also stopped and lined up on both sides, revealing the two horses in the center.

The leader was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old silver-crowned young man, slender and vigorous, without armor, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, a simple bronze ancient sword hanging from his waist, and his hand holding the reins was calm and powerful.

His face is sharp and angular, his eyebrows are oblique like a sword, the corners of his eyes and lips have a deep contour like a knife, and he looks exceptionally narrow and long.

The other horse is behind a horse's head, dressed in ordinary Great Zhou cavalry leather armor and red army robes, also extremely young and handsome, seems to have a little Di blood, carrying a silver bow on his back, the bow body is like two dragons grabbing pearls, gorgeous very, there are three extremely eye-catching golden arrows in the dense iron arrows in the horse side quiver.

The silver-crowned young man looked at Yu Yulin, and his voice was clear and calm: "Yu Qing is exempt." ”

"Thank you, the king!"

Yu Fulin straightened up and still bowed his hand: "The king is on the outskirts of the city, there is a suspicion of disturbing the people, if he is impeached by the officials, I am afraid that the reputation of the king will be damaged." ”

"Bold!" someone in the silver-armored guard immediately reprimanded, and with a pop, the knife in the sheath had been drawn out in half.

Yu Yulin's eyes are clear and resolute, without fear.

"Hugh is presumptuous!"

The silver-crowned young man's face was solemn, and he solemnly bowed his hand on the horse: "Yu Qing is a direct minister, and the lonely king has been taught." ”

After that, he looked at the twelve monks and the reclining Buddha behind him, and a slightly cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be playful and seemed to ridicule: "Speaking of the official, the monk carried the Buddha into Beijing, and the momentum was huge along the way, in order to eliminate the opposition in the court, and even let the Grain Temple nod his head loosely, Ao Gong can be described as painstaking, and even with the lonely king is also a little curious, I came to take a look today." ”

The twelve monks took a step forward lightly and saluted: "I heard that the king was a god who came into the world, and he came here today because he was destined for my Buddha." ”

"Trick up!"

The silver-bowed warrior beside King Lanling laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the last general thought that he was such a master, it turned out to be just a thief in the realm of inspiration, and he unloaded this Laoshizi Buddha statue from the official road, and memorized these dozens of steps in one breath, which seems to be amazing, but in fact, it is a method of fighting for life." At this moment, this monk has been seriously injured, if Fang Cai really carried the stone Buddha to the peach forest, I am afraid that he will die immediately. ”

The silver-crowned young man laughed dumbly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Ji Nu, your mouth is really ......."

He looked at the twelve monks again: "Don't blame the monk, my subordinates have no malice, he, he is used to being evil to others, although there is a splendid song in his belly, but he is only willing to play and listen to the mountains and rivers." ”

Hearing this, the twelve monks sighed softly: "I see that this benefactor has a special temperament, although he has not cultivated the "Valley Nerve", he should be a red-clothed temple warrior, although you and I are not a religion, but we should not be so disrespectful to the gods." ”

Sonor!

The silver-bowed warrior's eyebrows jumped, and no one on the bowstring on his back sounded, and a sonorous voice sounded: "When Di was dressed in red, his heart and soul returned to the throne of God, and his body was sacrificed. ”

He pointed to the stone Buddha behind the monk and sneered: "No matter how religious it is, the statues are naturally gorgeous and solemn, and the classics are also profound and subtle, but they are just foolish ~ people's things, where can they represent the supremacy of the gods, Di Mou will never fall under the puppet stone tire in this life!"

The twelve monks shook their heads: "What the donor said is wrong, my Buddhism has never been stupid~ the people, and in the eyes of the little monk, the gods are not supreme. ”

He also turned around and pointed to the stone Buddha: "Just like my Buddha, if I invite him to come, he can only come." ”

The twelve monks folded their hands together again and solemnly saluted to the people of the four directions: "I did not invite the people, but the people came by themselves, did not invite the king, and the king also came, not for my Buddha, but for the Buddha nature of your own causes. ”

He lowered his eyebrows and said, "It is never the gods who can be feared, but the beings who make him." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.

King Lanling was silent for a long time, and then spoke again: "What the monk said sounds deviant at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it is right. Since we are all causal beings, tell me which of the people present has the heaviest cause and the deepest Buddha nature?"

The twelve monks raised their heads and looked in one direction.

At this moment, everyone was still kneeling on the ground, but they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the place where the twelve monks were looking.

King Lanling also looked at himself, and saw a black-clothed young man with a knife in the distance behind him, who was independent of the crowd and did not kneel down.

He looked at the young man for a moment, and then smiled, which was difficult to understand.

The black-clothed young man with a knife grinned at King Lanling and asked curiously, "Why is the king laughing? Isn't it true that the monk said that the karma is the heaviest and the Buddha nature is the deepest?"

"What kind of karma and Buddha nature you have, this king can't see. ”

King Lanling shook his head and said, "However, I watched my brother stand in the midst of everyone, like a flock of fierce tigers lying on chickens, so I laughed!"
