When Yu Wan arrived, the disciple guarding the gate first gave her a temporary identity card. When she stepped into the gate with red pillars and cornices, Yu Wan was caught off guard and felt a huge golden swastika Buddha seal. , directly slapped her head-on. Just when she was about to launch a counterattack, the golden light disappeared in an instant, and she also successfully entered the gate.
Yu Wan couldn't understand. How did this so-called security check identify the Brahmin disciple?
This was not just her, the disciples of Guangfu Temple who came with her also had puzzled expressions.
Among them, there was a little girl with the most lively personality. She couldn't hold it in anymore, so she asked a young monk who came from the previous group:
"Amitabha, hello, senior brother, Xiao Ni Miaoke, Xiao Ni has been wondering about something. I wonder if senior brother... can you give me an answer?"
The person who was being questioned was also a young monk, who was still a nun. He was being questioned by a baby-faced nun. He had not had much contact with outsiders, and he was still a nun. He stiffened involuntarily, his face was slightly red, and his eyes were a little evasive. , embarrassedly recited a Buddhist saying and replied:
"Amitabha, junior sister, you are very polite. If you have anything to say, please ask. If the monk knows the explanation, I will tell you."
It was wonderful to see that this young monk was still on the right path, and he immediately asked with a smile on his face:
"Brother, how does this security check identify Brahmin people? Xiaoni is very curious!"
"Little junior sister, I don't know. When you wait through this door, if you don't have the Buddha's breath, you will be struck by the Dharma you see and come out of this door. Now that everyone has entered safely, it will naturally not be a Brahmin. The person."
When Yu Wan heard what the young monk said, she couldn't help but stretched out her left hand and touched the string of sandalwood beads given to her by Tang Po on her right hand.
Fortunately, this string of Buddhist beads was there, so she came in safely.
However, this made Yu Wan have to admire Tang Po. She could actually get such a string of Buddhist beads that could hide the aura and make them look fake. I wonder where Tang Po got them?
"That's it. Thank you, little senior brother, for clarifying my doubts." After getting the answer, Miaoke responded gratefully.
The young monk only nodded slightly, said nothing in return, and continued to stand like wooden stakes with his senior brothers.
After seeing that all the members of Guangfu Temple had gone through the security check, Master Zhenli, who had been standing quietly aside, spoke:
"Master Yuan Si, this Dharma conference is scheduled to be held in our Putuo Mountain. Our temple is a temple for male monks and female nuns to practice Buddhism. So when you go up the stairs in a while, you will follow this young monk to Pantuo Nunnery. Have a rest. A rest room has been prepared for you. The poor monk will continue to receive visitors, so he will not go with you.
Our temple is focusing on spiritual practice, so we have instituted a no-flying rule. So to trouble Master Yuansi and everyone else, we have to hike up the mountain. We apologize for the inconvenience. "
After Zhenli finished speaking, without waiting for Yuan Si to be polite, he called over the young monk who had just spoken to Miaoke and said to him:
"Yin summoned you to come and take Master Yuansi and the senior sisters from Guangfu Temple to Pantuo Temple to check in."
The red-faced little monk Yin Zhao obediently came out of the queue, came to Zhenli, saluted and said:
"Yes, venerable sir, my disciple accepts the order."
Seeing that things had been arranged, Yuan Si watched from the side and thanked Zhenli at the same time, then led his disciples to follow the young monk named Yin Zhao and climbed the endless stone staircase.
Immediately, everyone in Guangfu Temple collectively climbed up the stairs. They were all monks climbing the mountain, so they were not tired.
But what Yu Wan was particularly curious about was what kind of scenery was hidden above the white mist at the end of the stone steps?
Although they did see Mount Putuo when they came, they only saw the layer of white mist surrounding the mountainside of Mount Putuo. As for what was going on above the white mist, they were not able to see through it. Even if Yu Wan's spiritual consciousness was powerful, It is also impossible to find out clearly.
Because of this, she was extremely curious...
But seeing such a thick layer of white mist surrounding it, it's not difficult to understand.
Putuo Mountain is surrounded by the sea. The water vapor has always been heavy and has not been blown away by the intrusion of the sea wind. Therefore, it has been controlled by the formation for many years, making it a natural defensive and isolation barrier, and the effect is also excellent.
It has to be said that the mages of Putuo Mountain are also extremely smart and know how to adapt to the local environment.
"Senior Brother Yin Zhao, how long until we arrive?"
Nian Ke can no longer remember when he counted to a thousand steps. They haven't touched the clouds at this step. After all, the end is reached above the clouds? Or should we continue climbing?
They had not passed by, and others were too embarrassed to ask. Everyone chose to follow silently. But Nianke seemed to be a guy who couldn't hold things back, so he asked out his doubts.
"Junior Sister Nianke, don't worry, it will be done soon. After the clouds, you will find the main hall, Puji Temple." Yin Zhao replied as he climbed up the stairs.
Everyone looked up and saw that there were only a hundred or so steps away from the clouds, which meant that the journey was not far away.
The road was not far away, but as soon as Ke Nianke started talking, he couldn't stop it, so he started chatting with Yin Zhao.
Although everyone walked in silence, their ears were not idle. They all stretched out their ears to listen to the two people's chat.
From their conversation, Yu Wan learned that in addition to the people from Guangfu Temple, many teams from sects had already moved in at separate temples.
Among them was the Wuyi Mountain disciples who were dedicated to Manjushri Bodhisattva, whom Miaofu had mentioned to her. She even heard that they had brought the sacred beast from their temple this time...the young beast, the green-faced lion Qiu.
In addition to Mount Wuyi, there are also Mount Mantuo, which believes in Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and Mount Jiuhua, which believes in Ksitigarbha. Believers of the Four Saints Bodhisattva have all gathered in Mount Putuo.
The remaining ones who gathered one after another were the believers from small temples in remote areas like Guangfu Temple, representing their own sects to participate in the ceremony.
Guangfu'an arrived neither early nor late. After all, it was three days before the ceremony started, so at least they still had three days to adjust their breathing.
Just as they continued to climb the stairs while stretching their ears to listen openly, they unknowingly walked into the clouds. Everyone who was originally stunned by what they heard came back to their senses, and Yin Zhao also stopped chatting. .
When everyone followed the call in front and climbed the last step, the clouds suddenly cleared and the sun suddenly opened up. What came into view was a majestic palace, which was brilliant and solemn.
Behind the treasure hall, there are many ancient temples, large and small...
And above these temples, there is actually a shadow of a giant Buddha suspended in the sky. This is exactly the movement technique of Master Guanyin.
I saw her sitting on the lotus platform in a coiled position, holding a pure vase in one hand, with a green willow branch inserted in the vase, and standing in front of her body with one hand pointing to the sky, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and her eyes were slightly raised, overlooking all living beings.
Behind her, the golden Buddha light shone brightly, softly and making people feel bright.
Seeing Master Guanyin like this, Master Yuansi and others all knelt down and worshiped the Buddha with great piety as if on conditioned reflex.
Yu Wan was slightly stunned for a moment, only half a beat slower, and then followed the example of the disciples of Guangfu Temple, chanting Buddhist words together, and knelt down to worship.
Even though Yu Wan was not a Buddhist believer, he had to do as the Romans do, otherwise it would be too abrupt and disrespectful to stand alone.
