164. Initial Meeting
Zhuyao, this is one of the cities inhabited by many human races in Xiniuhezhou, and it is also a key point for the north and south, with hundreds of thousands of residents in the city. The human race that has developed to the present day is no longer as when the tribes lived in the past, at this time, there are all kinds of shops and wine shops in the city, and the city lord of Yamen has everything.
A large river flows quietly outside the city, and in the distance lies a mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, and in the middle of the mountains and rivers is a crisscrossing of fields, and some small villages are scattered around.
Several yellow-robed people stood in the clouds, looking at the flow of people coming and going on the avenue outside the city, those carrying burdens, those pushing carts, those riding horses, those carrying canes, those with swords, those carrying swords, men and women, old and young, in an endless stream.
Several yellow-robed people on the clouds are bald-headed, and the leader in the middle has towering cheekbones, deep-set eyes, lion eyebrows and eagle nose, two ears hanging from the shoulders, and a string of huge prayer beads hanging from his neck, calm as a mountain. At this time, a pair of eyes were looking at the Zhuyao City in front of them. Several people next to him also looked at the city, but their faces were relaxed.
At this time, one of them, holding a golden bell in one hand, and a yellow-robed man with pale blue eyes spoke: "Jiulou Sun Bodhisattva, this time I came to this city to preach, the Bodhisattva should have another achievement, presumably it won't be long before the Bodhisattva can become a Buddha!"
A few people next to him also congratulated when they heard it.
That is called the Jiulou Sun Bodhisattva is the first Bodhisattva who was enshrined by the Zhun Ti Buddha Mother Bodhisattva at the Western Religious Renaming Conference, formerly known as the Jialuo Gu Tuo, is a famous loose cultivator in Xiniu Hezhou, has long been certified Taiyi Golden Immortal Fruit Position, the strength is strong, after taking refuge in Buddhism, he was enshrined as the Jiulou Sun Bodhisattva, and is the first of the Bodhisattvas who were enshrined.
Hearing the congratulations of several companions, a hint of joy flashed in his sunken eyes, but his mouth said: "You fellow disciples have praised it, and the poor monks and you can get this merit, and it is also the work of the two masters of our Buddhism! We only need to act according to the orders of the two masters, and we will be able to achieve the right result as soon as possible!" After speaking, he also recited the Buddha's name in a serious manner.
The rest of the people also solemnly recited: "Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha, Nan Wu Zhun Ti Buddha Mother Bodhisattva!"
After reciting a Buddha name, everyone was about to fall into the clouds, when the last person standing in the audience spoke: "This Zhuyao City Xuanmen has been preaching for a long time, and we are afraid that this mission will not be easy!"
The Bodhisattva looked back, and the face of the person who spoke was handsome, and his eyes shone with this bright light, and he was calmly looking at the people who looked back at him.
Seeing the person who spoke, Jiulou Sun Bodhisattva's face sank slightly, and before he could speak, someone next to him said: "How can the Xuanmen missionary method be compared with my Buddhism, haven't you all seen it before?"
When the Bodhisattva heard this, he also smiled slightly, but the man with a handsome face spoke again: "Today is not the same as in the past, you must know that the deputy sect leader of the three sects of Xuanmen has come to Vulture Mountain, and we are still cautious!
The one who spoke just now said: "That Dao seeker I admit that his Tao is profound and powerful, but this is a contest between the two religions and missionaries, and we have the Sutra of Salvation passed down by my Buddha Amitabha, so why be afraid of him!"
The handsome-faced man was just about to speak, but the Bodhisattva of the Dove Tower said with a calm face: "There is no need to say more, we will go down and teach the Fa." You can do your job well, and you don't need to worry about the rest!"
Everyone immediately clasped their hands together, bowed down and saluted: "Obey the decree of the Bodhisattva of the Dove Tower!"
The Bodhisattva of the Dove Tower Sun glanced at the handsome person, and then did not speak, but first pressed down the cloud head and appeared above the Zhuyao City, and the rest of the people also quickly followed and appeared in the air.
The people in the Buddhist sect slowly reveal their figures in the air, not hiding their figures, but directly showing the appearance of the law in the air.
Inside and outside the city, there was a sudden sense of light, but it was not dazzling. Indoors, on the streets, adults and children all feel an inexplicable sense of awe. They all looked up into the air. What I saw in my eyes was the people of the Buddhist Sect who were in the golden light.
The pedestrians and residents inside and outside the city did not panic much when they saw the figures of the golden light flashing in the air, after all, they usually occasionally saw some monks passing through Zhuyao City, and they had seen a lot of flying in the void, and even saw some riding various hideous and powerful beasts passing by. The only thing was that the curiosity caused by the dazzling golden light in the air and the inexplicable awe in his heart were slightly confused, but he was soon attracted by the magnificent sound that came from the air.
The Bodhisattva of the Dove Tower Sun showed the appearance of the law, ten zhang tall, the treasure was solemn, the hands were folded, and the wide yellow robe moved slightly, presenting an inexplicable rhythm, which could gather the eyes around him. And several other yellow-robed people also showed the appearance of the law, but only four or five zhang high, divided into two sides of the dove tower Sun Bodhisattva, one by one also folded hands, dignified and solemn, extremely solemn.
The mouth of the Bodhisattva of the Dove Tower Sun opened lightly, and the voice that penetrated the heartstrings suddenly sounded between the heavens and the earth: "You are a living being, born with suffering?????? the sea of suffering is boundless, and all beings are ignorant?????? take refuge in my Buddha and get rid of the sea ??????of suffering."
When the Jiulou Sun Bodhisattva opened his mouth, the rest of the Buddhist people on both sides of the Jiulou Sun Bodhisattva recited the Buddhist Sutra in unison, and the Sanskrit sound sounded. There are golden flowers falling in the air, steaming and shining with golden light.
The people inside and outside the city of Zhuyao suddenly felt relaxed under the golden light, many people felt that their old illnesses for many years began to improve, and their hearts also began to involuntarily rise to the yearning for the Buddhism preached by the Bodhisattva Sun of the Dovehouse, and some people even began to kneel down slowly with their hands folded, and bowed to the ground devoutly. Even some of the original Xuanmen believers began to waver in their hearts, and their hearts began to struggle.
As time passed, more and more people bowed to the ground, and even those Xuanmen believers also worshipped.
Looking at the prospect, although the mouth of the Bodhisattva of the Dove Tower did not stop, a faint joy began to arise in his heart, and it seemed that this mission would be as smooth as before.
Just as more and more people knelt down, even the faces of several fellow disciples who were reciting the Sutra next to the Jiulou Sun Bodhisattva began to show joy, and a cold voice fell from the sky: "The Jiulou Sun Bodhisattva is so pompous! He actually exerted such a great magical power among my Xuanmen believers!
When the people of Buddhism were proud, this cold voice suddenly woke up the people inside and outside the city, and the original heart that was going to sink into the Dharma was liberated, and suddenly felt relaxed, but there was a faint resentment towards the Buddhism who had just performed the Dharma and wanted to transform themselves. This is also another magic power implied in this cold cheer.
In addition to the Dovelou Sun Bodhisattva, the people of the Buddha Gate also broke the Dharma in this cold cheer and returned to the state of ordinary people, even the Dharma of the Dove Lou Sun Bodhisattva also shook for a while, and it was a lot more illusory. The vision in the air vanished at once.
The people of Buddhism were suddenly shocked, and turned around to meet the two women who walked in the air, and the Bodhisattva Sun of the Dove Tower also received the Dharma, his eyes were full of vigilance, and the cold voice just now really made him feel worried, and he didn't know the depth of the person, and he was quite afraid in his heart.
This time, I turned around and saw two female monks, one dressed in snow-white plain clothes, with fluttering belts, cold and dusty, holding a whisk in her hand, and the other woman was dressed in a bright and dignified dress, but her bright eyes were full of thoughts.
It was the Jade Void Sect Cihang Zhenren and the Golden Spirit Holy Mother of the Biyou Sect who came.
Cihang and Jin Ling walked in the air, as if they were slow and fast, and in an instant, they came to stand in front of everyone in the Buddhist Gate. Although his face was frosty, he also said: "Cihang, the ancestor of the Jade Void Sect (Jin Ling, the main disciple of the Biyou Interception Sect Tongtian Sect) has seen all the Taoist friends of the Buddhist Sect!"
Hearing that these two were the Buddhas, they were also slightly shocked in their hearts, for the main disciples of the two sects, the Buddhists still knew, and the two in front of them can be said to be the best among the disciples of the two sects. However, seeing that the two had already met first, the Buddha also returned the salute under the leadership of the Bodhisattva Sun of the Dovehouse.
As soon as the people of this Buddhist sect finished returning the salute, Cihang Zhenren said coldly: "Why did you fellow Daoists come to the place of my Xuanmen mission to do such a thing?" After saying this, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and his questioning attitude was revealed, and the Holy Mother of Jin Ling next to him also looked at the Buddhist people coldly.
The people in Buddhism were a little intimidated by the momentum of the two, and they looked at the Bodhisattva of the Dove Tower one by one. The Bodhisattva of the Dove Tower Sun was a little annoyed when he noticed the eyes of the same sect, but his face still did not change, he folded his hands and bowed slightly, and said: "Don't the two Taoist friends know that the Buddha of My Buddha Gate has made an appointment with the Elder of the Burning Lamp of the Ru Xuanmen, and they can preach on their own at the place where the Buddha Gate and the Xuanmen preach?"
Hearing the rhetorical question of the Bodhisattva of the Dove Tower, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit snorted coldly: "But you promised to preach like this?"
Hearing the question of Our Lady of the Golden Spirit, the Bodhisattva of the Dove Tower faintly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong for a while, so he replied: "When it is agreed, there is no regulation on the way of preaching, and how to preach is determined by the two sects!"
Cihang Zhenren said: "In this way, when I go to the places where you and other Buddhist sects preach, you can also decide how to preach at your own discretion, and you don't need to be notified to the Buddha Gate?"
When the Bodhisattva heard Cihang say, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he still didn't know what was wrong, so he had to reply: "Exactly!"
Hearing the reply of the Bodhisattva of the Dove Tower, Cihang Zhenren and the Holy Mother of Jin Ling suddenly smiled, and the Holy Mother of Jin Ling smiled and said: "In this case, we will not disturb your Taoist friends to preach, Taoist friends, please take care of yourself!"
When the Bodhisattva saw the smile of Cihang Zhenren and the Holy Mother of Jinling, and listened to the words of Our Lady of Jinling, he felt even more bad, but he still didn't know what was wrong, and he had doubts in his heart, so he couldn't care about preaching anymore, and he urgently wanted to go back to find the Buddha to ask for an understanding, so he bowed again and said: "Today, our mission is over, we need to go back to the Buddha to pay the decree, two Taoist friends, farewell!" After Cihang Zhenren and Our Lady of Jin Ling returned the salute, they led the same door and left in a hurry.
