Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Monk from the Mother Kingdom of the Western King
In the mountainside overgrown with evil flowers, a young man in a bloody robe appeared at the entrance to the cave on the mountainside, and his figure flashed into the hollowed-out belly of the mountain.
After entering the cave, the blood-robed man was discovered by the black-clothed man patrolling inside, and after seeing it, the black-clothed man stopped and greeted him respectfully, looking very familiar with the blood-robed young man.
"What about my father-in-law?" The blood-robed man was none other than Liu Hong, the young master of the Blood Flower Gate.
"The Lord of the Sect is angry about the matter of the Jingyuan Blood Palace, and the fact that we have to hand over eight thousand blood seeds this month is almost emptying our family. The doorman lost his temper in the room, and we didn't dare to go over and persuade him. The man in black next to him replied.
"Well, I see. Liu Hong smiled and said, "I'll go and persuade my father-in-law in a while." By the way, I heard that the matter of blood rage was solved, who solved it?"
"We have tied up the medical saint Lin Zhengnan, and the pill he has configured can suppress the speed at which the blood species can suck essence blood. ”
"It turned out to be a medical saint. Liu Hong squinted his eyes and said, "I say, who can have such a great ability to suppress the blood seed." ”
After Liu Hong finished speaking, he walked inside, and after a while, he came to the door of Liu Yuan, the master of the Blood Flower Sect.
"Father, I'm back. Liu Hong said respectfully to the door.
"It's Hong'er, come in. Liu Yuan's voice came from the room.
Liu Hong pushed open the door and went in to see the tea and teacup fragments all over the ground, and he asked, "Is my father-in-law still worried about the blood race?"
"What else is annoying besides this matter?" Liu Yuan's blood-red pupils were filled with blood flames, he stared at Liu Hong and said angrily: "I want eight thousand blood seeds a month, and his Jingyuan Blood Hall is going to squeeze us to death, and if you provoke me, I will go against him and join the Corpse King Sect!"
"The righteous father is angry. Liu Hong hurriedly persuaded, "The news I sent before is not complete, although the Jingyuan Blood Hall wants us to hand over eight thousand blood seeds, but it does not require that all of them are mature. The child had a good relationship with the messenger, and it was good to listen to his tone, and half of the eight thousand blood seeds were mature. ”
"Can you not hand in the mature body?" Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then wondered, "The immature blood seed is completely useless, why do they want these useless blood halls?"
"Whatever the use of him, these big sects of theirs have always done things unexpectedly. After Liu Hong finished speaking, he said mysteriously, "Father-in-law has good news for you, it was the elders of the Jingyuan Blood Hall who personally promised me, as long as we get this done, the thing they promised to give us will be given to us!"
"You're talking about...blood baby?!" Liu Yuan's eyes showed a trace of blood, and he said with some fiery.
"It's the Blood Baby!" Liu Hong nodded and said, "As long as the Blood Baby is in hand, you can cross the innate step to the Blood Sea Realm, and it is not impossible for you to cultivate the Blood Pill in the future!"
"According to what you say," Liu Yuan pondered, "it's not a loss to exchange eight thousand blood seeds for a blood baby. ”
"Well, the child just wants to talk to his father-in-law about the blood seed today, after all, the number of eight thousand is huge, and this matter still needs to be planned carefully. ”
"Then on the twenty-fifth day of this month, gather the believers, and then draw out the blood from their bodies and put them in the blood pool to recuperate, and then take them away from the blood temple at the end of the month. ”
When discussing how to refine the blood seed within the Blood Flower Gate, an uninvited guest came to Cangwu City.
Two strangely dressed monks from the Western Regions came to Cangwu City, and after eating in the restaurant, they kept asking if there were any Buddhist temples nearby.
"You're not from my Great Jin Kingdom, are you? Someone in the restaurant asked the two monks.
"The donor is right," one of the monks in his thirties replied, "the poor monk Huineng is from the Western Regions Buddha Country, and this is my junior brother Huixiu, and we are indeed not from the Great Jin Dynasty." ”
Huineng was flanked by a young monk in his twenties, who smiled and saluted the crowd, but did not speak.
"Oh, so you are from the Western Queen Mother Country", the guests who were eating in the restaurant understood, no wonder the clothes of these two monks were different from those of the Jin Kingdom.
The West Queen Mother Country is also known as the Buddha Country, located in the Kunlun Mountains and borders the Great Jin Kingdom, the reason why the West Queen Mother Country is called the Buddha Country is not because there is any Buddha in this country, but everyone in the West Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, where Buddhist temples are all over the whole country to establish Buddhism as the state religion.
It is precisely because of the excessive obsession with Buddhism that the Western Mother Kingdom is called the Kingdom of Buddha.
"Are you two also here to pay homage to the miracles of the Buddha?" someone couldn't help but ask Huineng, "Has the reputation of Leiyin Temple spread to your Western Queen Mother Country?"
"Buddha miracles?" Hui Neng was stunned, the reason why he and his junior brother Hui Xiu came to Cangwu City was because he suspected that someone nearby raised evil ghost flowers to harm people, as for the Buddha's miracles, he really hadn't heard of them.
"Dare to ask where are the miracles of the Buddha nearby?" Huineng asked with his hands folded, "The poor monk and his junior brother came to the Great Jin Kingdom to do business, but they have never heard of any miracles of the Buddha here. ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire restaurant suddenly fell silent. Everyone, including the shopkeeper, looked at Huineng and Huixiu with idiot eyes, as if to say that you don't even know the famous Leiyin Temple?
Huineng was even more puzzled, what are these people, why are they all looking at themselves with that kind of rolling eyes, is there really any Buddha here?
The shopkeeper of the restaurant broke the silence for a long time, and he said faintly, "If it weren't for the steady and kind of two masters and the fact that they are from the Western Queen Mother Country, I'm afraid that the people here will think that you are here to smash the field, and today with your ignorant words, you will inevitably be beaten." ”
"You don't even know about Leiyin Temple, and you don't even know the name of the Sanzang Buddha. ”
"What, Buddha?!" Huixiu next to him was taken aback, "Who is this person who actually claims to be a Buddha?"
"Everyone who comes here will be shocked when they hear the identity of the Buddha son of the abbot of Sanzang," the people said proudly, "but when they see the real Buddha miracle of Leiyin Temple, they will believe this rumor, it is true!"
"Then please ask the donor to introduce us, and the poor monks and disciples also want to see the miracles of the Buddha and the Buddha's son. Hui Neng took a deep breath and said.
"You don't need any introduction," the shopkeeper of the restaurant walked to the door and pointed to the people on the road, "See, thousands of people go to Leiyin Temple every day to worship Buddha and burn incense, you just need to follow the people." ”
"Thank you, donor. ”
Hui Neng and Hui Xiu left the restaurant and followed the people to Wan Fo Mountain, the two of them were ordered to investigate the flower of the evil ghost, originally had the intention of asking for help from the Jin Buddhist Temple, and now they can still see the miracles of the Buddha that people say.
'I hope you don't disappoint the poor monks,' Huineng muttered, he didn't really care about the miracles of the Buddha here, they came from the Western Mother Country, which was the most devout to the Buddha, and that was the source of true Buddhism.
But when Huineng walked to the foot of Wanfo Mountain and saw the Bodhi tree that was inserted into the sky and exuded five-colored spiritual light, he couldn't calm down. He looked at the Bodhi Tree with straight eyes, it was the first time he had seen such a big and tall Bodhi Tree, and the Divine Tree that could emit light throughout his body was even more unheard of.
"The monks of the Western Regions who have never seen the world," the people who came to the incense around saw the two of Huineng and Huixiu who were stunned, and pouted, "This is suppressed? Our Bodhi tree has also produced a little Buddha, I really haven't seen the world!"
Hui Neng and Hui Xiu held their chin together and closed their mouths, the strange scene in front of them was too much for them to understand. Nearly 100 meters of the sacred tree inserted into the clouds and emitted bursts of five-colored spiritual light under the illumination of the sun, and the entire Ten Thousand Buddha Mountains were shrouded in spiritual light, this kind of shock was something that Huineng and Huixiu had never seen.
With that shock, Huineng and Huixiu came to the top of Wanfo Mountain, and after walking through the mountain gate, they saw the solemn Daxiong Treasure Palace.
I don't know why, when Huineng and Huixiu saw the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the two wanted to kneel down and worship on the spot, and they had a strong feeling in their hearts as if they could see the Buddha in the main hall, just like being in Elysium.
"The poor monk Huineng, with his junior brother Huixiu, came to pay homage to my Buddha and Buddha relics. After Hui Neng saw Wu Zhen in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, he bowed down and said, "Please also ask this master to take me in for a few days." ”
"It turned out to be a Buddhist friend from the Western Regions," Wuzhen replied after seeing Hui Neng, "It is said that we are all my Buddha believers, and it doesn't hurt to let the two Buddhist friends live for a few days, but the poor monk has to ask the abbot of this temple about this matter, and please don't be surprised by the two Buddhist friends." ”
"It is rude for the poor monk and his junior brother to come suddenly without informing your temple in advance, let alone strange. ”
Wu Zhen nodded, and then walked towards Tang Yuan's meditation room.
"Is there a monk from the Western Regions here?" Tang Yuan was about to go out, and he promised Lin Mo'er to look for Lin Zhengnan.
"It's better for Master to meet him," Wu Zhen said to Tang Yuan, "I see that those two monks are extraordinary, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are high monks,"
"Let's go, let's meet. ”
"Amitabha, the poor monk is the abbot of Leiyin Temple, Sanzang, I don't know where the two Buddhist friends came from?" Tang Yuan saw that Huineng's clothes were different from his.
"The poor monk Huineng and his junior brother Huixiu are from the Futu Temple in the West Queen Mother Country, and they want to stay in your temple for a few days, I don't know if it is convenient?"
"Naturally, it is convenient," Tang Yuan said with a smile, "The Buddha of the world is originally a family, and the two are high monks from the Mother Country of the Western Queen, and the poor monks welcome them in their hearts." ”
"Let the poor monk take you to see how the Zen monastery you live in, where the environment is quiet and suitable for the two monks. Tang Yuan said.
"There is an abbot of Lao. Huineng Huixiu said, in fact, they still want to look at the Daxiong Treasure Hall twice, and they don't want to go to the place where they live, but Tang Yuan's enthusiasm is difficult, but they can't refuse.
Tang Yuan arranged Huineng Huixiu to the Zen Monastery, and instructed Wuzhen to bring some daily necessities. Tang Yuan, the mother country of the Western Queen, from which Huineng came, had heard that it was said that that country had reached a level of obsession with Buddhism, and it was also called the country of Buddhism, claiming to be the place where Buddhism was rooted.
Tang Yuan, as the abbot of the Buddhist Leiyin Temple of the Great Jin Kingdom, naturally could not weaken his reputation in front of other countries.
"I wonder if the abbot of Sanzang has ever heard of the Demon Flower?" After cleaning up, Huineng asked Tang Yuan, after all, their task was to find this flower.
"Demon Flower?" Tang Yuan and Wu Zhen glanced at each other after hearing this, and they really hadn't heard of it.
"What does the Demon Flower look like, and is there any danger?" Tang Yuan asked.
"The Demon Flower is a blood-red flower that feeds on the essence of human flesh and blood. The Demon Flower grows a seed called the Blood Seed, which can latent in the human body and specialize in sucking the essence blood of the person until the Blood Seed matures. ”
"I don't know why the people near my Futu Temple have all become thin and weak recently and their appetite has increased greatly, and my Futu Temple master used Buddha power to check that they were all blooded, so he sent poor monks and junior disciples to the Jin Kingdom to investigate the evil ghost flower. ”
"After all, it is impossible for us to have the Flower of Evil Spirits there, and the Futu Temple is on the border between the Great Jin Kingdom and my Buddha Kingdom, so it is very likely that it was done by the people of the Blood Dao of the Jin Kingdom. Speaking of this, Huineng said to Tang Yuan sincerely, "I also ask the abbot of Sanzang to help the poor monk find the flower of the evil ghost." ”
