Chapter 266 Meeting
The soldiers guarding Yangzhou City were very disciplined. They carefully inspected the goods and conditions of the caravan, and after verifying that they were a caravan returning from Haizhou to visit Daming Temple, they were allowed to enter the city without any intrusion. fees or other exorbitant taxes. Of course, this was also due to the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and Yangzhou, which enabled the Song Dynasty to provide sufficient military pay for the soldiers, and strict military discipline could ensure the integrity of the army.
Soon after entering the city, the caravan stopped giving demonstrations and directly raised the flag of Haeju County - a large flag with a red sun in the center, white around it and black at the bottom. This flag is a cloud. The Canghai design symbolizes that Haizhou is full of vitality and unstoppable power, just like the red sun rising out of the sea.
Strange to say, after the Haizhou caravan erected the flag, it seemed to have an invisible momentum. All ordinary people facing this flag on the street would feel that this big flag seemed to have a strong majesty, as if it had a divine pearl. Generally, anyone who enters within a ten-meter radius of the big flag will feel this kind of pressure. In order to avoid this kind of pressure, they will unconsciously move away a few meters. This led to a strange scene - everyone would avoid the caravan as long as it was close to it, causing the caravan to arrive at Daming Temple, a famous spot in Yangzhou, unimpeded.
Daming Temple was originally a large-scale Buddhist temple. After several generations of construction, the foundation laid during the Jianzhen period and the overt and covert support in the later period, it has long since become a world-famous Buddhist holy place and one of the most righteous sects in the world.
Daming Temple is located in the southeast corner of Yangzhou City. It occupies an extremely large area, covering an area of hundreds of miles. The endless row of houses cannot even be surrounded by the city wall, and some of the houses even extend into the deserted suburbs outside the city. Even in the daytime, the four doors are still open to welcome visitors from all directions. The spacious and grand buildings, the energetic monks and the solemn monks show the profound strength and self-confidence of Daming Temple.
Since Jianzhen's eastward journey to Japan, the Haizhou caravan and the Daming Temple have been in contact for hundreds of years. They have been familiar with each other for a long time. As soon as the Haizhou caravan entered the sight of the Zhike monk in front of the temple, the Zhike monk's keen eyes had already discovered the Haizhou caravan. The body of the sedan chair uniquely represents the logo of the Haeju Assembly and went out in advance to greet him.
You must know that Daming Temple is the only large-scale sect in the Song Dynasty that established its temple gate in the mortal city. It receives countless visitors and believers every day, so the monks who can serve as guest monks are all colorful and sensible. Smart man.
Haizhou has a special place in the hearts of the people of Daming Temple as the residence of the peerless genius Jianzhen Monk of Daming Temple; and due to the fact that Haizhou people are good at learning, almost every few years, the Haizhou Council will take pictures of some costumes. Caravans of practitioners come here to study and promote Buddhism. Of course, not every monk from Haizhou participates, but as the saying goes, "A ruler is short, an inch is long." Even the middle- and lower-level monks who visit Daming Temple with Onmyoji can learn a lot from the process of communicating with each other. Therefore, Daming Temple not only does not dislike it, but also enjoys this kind of activity that is beneficial to both parties.
................................................................. .............................
"Master, we are members of the demon-killing team under the Haizhou Council. We have come to your temple for exchanges under the order of the council. Master, please inform the temple." One of the leaders of several Onmyojis came out to greet the Zhike monk. He said politely.
"Donors of Amitabha, don't be polite. The temple has already ordered that all caravans coming and going from Haizhou should go to the wing first. Please wait a moment and I will inform the abbot immediately." The monk Zhike did not dare to neglect and explained as he moved the Haizhou caravan. He was welcomed into a wing located on the north side of the temple and immediately went to the abbot's courtyard to report.
After entering the wing and taking a seat, Naoto Fujii first said to the old man: "Your Excellency, the Great Missionary Envoy, do you think the Daming Temple will agree to our request this time?"
The Great Missionary Envoy still closed his eyes and said slowly: "Your Highness Fujii, the fact that the Daming Temple can become one of the large sects is closely related to the Holy Monk Jianzhen. In the past few hundred years, there has been no comparison of cultivation, talent, and contribution in the Daming Temple." The True Saint Monk is a more outstanding figure. It can be said that the appeal of the Holy Monk Jianzhen in Daming Temple is no less than his influence in Haizhou. Moreover, our action this time is completely win-win, and the losses to each other are not that big. It’s not against morality and they have absolutely no reason to refuse. Your Highness, you are concerned but you are in trouble.”
"Well, since the Grand Missionary is so sure, I can rest assured. You also know that whether the task up to this point can be successfully completed is of great significance to me." Naoto Fujii breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the words of the Grand Missionary and waited for the next step. In order to avoid boredom, he summoned a blue fireball with one hand, and ignited a slender lightning bolt with the other hand, causing the lightning to continuously shuttle through the fireball, tearing the fireball into pieces, but it did not break. It's a delicate balance.
"His Highness's control of the power of nature is getting more and more sophisticated. It is true that he has the blood of the royal family and has gone through the elite education of the Yin-Yang Holy Sect. It seems that the holy sect has a successor." The great missionary squinted and saw Naoto Fujii's hand. The exquisite control smiled happily.
"When the distinguished guest of Amitabha arrives, Yuanzhi will be greeted by a distance, a loss of respect, and a loss of respect."
Naoto Fujii was just about to say a few words of humility when he heard a loud Buddhist chant coming from outside the door. Then a tall, muscular and powerful monk with a powerful face, like a Buddhist Dharma Protector, opened the door and strode in. This monk is wearing a red cassock and his voice is like a bell. His whole body is full of compelling momentum, which makes people want to worship him unconsciously.
The great missionary's eyes, which had been squinting, finally opened completely, revealing a pair of eyes that were as firm as diamonds. He lowered his head and said to the tall monk who came in: "Master Yuanzhi, Xu Xing, the great missionary of Haizhou Yin-Yang Sect, represents our Holy Spirit." The leader of the church sends his regards."
It turns out that the great monk who walked in was the contemporary abbot of Daming Temple, Master Yuanzhi, who had reached the late stage of anti-empty cultivation!
