Gandhara City is the most powerful city in the northwest.
To the north is Wuqi at the southern end of the Western Region, and to the northwest is it bordering Dayuezhi.
The central dome of the city.
The head of empty samadhi is sitting cross-legged in his own sutra hall.
He is surrounded by Buddha light and has a halo behind him, like a circular river of scriptures.
It is said that this sutra river is the holy river of emptiness and samadhi enlightenment. It is combined with the ancient sutra "Mahara" to form a river of sutras, which contains infinite mysteries.
The head of Kongsamadhi is sixty-four years old this year.
But from the outside, he still looks like a young man. His whole body is soaked in Buddha's light, transparent and untainted, and he has long been cast into a Buddhist golden body.
The golden body is a great realm of Buddhism. Later generations called it the golden body of Arhat, also called the golden body of salvation.
The light of Buddha behind him corresponds to the spiritual realm of Buddhism.
Buddhist cultivation can be subdivided into two parts. One is the Vajra Body cultivation, which follows the path of protecting the law and subduing demons, and specializes in fighting.
The other channel is to cultivate the meaning of sutras, focus on understanding, and pay more attention to spiritual practice.
Paying attention to the lineage of spiritual practice, reaching a high level, opening up the wisdom of the past, and cultivating the light of the Buddha, can also cleanse the whole body, master the method of vajra to subjugate demons, and bring the body practice to the level of the immortal golden body.
The seven giants are all in this state, where the Buddha's light protects the body, the golden body is immortal, and all evils are invulnerable.
Comparing the cultivation of the great man horizontally, it is equivalent to the peak of the heaven and human realm, only one step away from the semi-saint.
Kong Samadhi is a spiritual master who practices poison in the body.
It is said that before his mother gave birth to him, she dreamed of a white elephant carrying golden light and spitting out an ancient scripture every night.
At the age of seven, Kongsamadhi was able to explain the "Tara Hui Sutra" to other Buddhist practitioners. At the age of twelve, he opened a forum to gather believers and spread the sutra's meaning, and his reputation was astonishing.
He began to have lumps on his head when he was thirty years old. This was due to the first disaster of the Three Thousand Tribulations, when Su Hui returned and awakened in this life.
Since then, the number of bumps on his head has increased.
Each bag is the true meaning of a Buddhist scripture and derives a magical power.
Up to now, he has gone through a realm that many practitioners would never complete in a lifetime, and his head is covered with meat buns and Buddha buns.
At this time, Kongsamadhi sat cross-legged and looked at the bowl in front of him.
In the golden bowl, the water of the holy river reflected the void, showing a scene thousands of miles away.
The picture is blurry.
But it can be seen that the two parties are fighting.
One of them is Buddhist cultivation.
It is the Twelve Causes and Conditions that were sent out by the Emptiness Samadhi and the Formless Advocacy together to the Han Dynasty to spread the teachings.
They traveled eastward, but they did not venture into the Han Dynasty. Instead, they penetrated the borders of the Han Dynasty with the influence of Buddhist music and pushed it to the people on the border of the Han Dynasty, taking the opportunity to spread Buddhist scriptures.
Unexpectedly, his whereabouts were discovered.
What Kongsamadhi saw was the scene of the Twelve Karma Buddhas being chased far away on the border of Han Dynasty.
The picture he saw when he pushed the golden bowl showed a skinny old Taoist priest, swinging his sleeves and striking a hanging ancient bell, pursuing the twelve causes and conditions.
In addition, many Taoist priests participated in the battle.
Judging from the scene in the golden bowl, it is obvious that the situation of the twelve karma is not good, and it seems that it is being beaten.
The old Taoist priest had terrifying cultivation comparable to that of Kong Samadhi, a giant in the hierarchy.
It shook the ancient bell, and the golden bowl in Samadhi's hand suddenly disappeared.
"I have said before that it is not easy for you to preach in Han Dynasty.
Han culture has a long history, and none of the three teachings and nine streams of Dharma is weaker than Buddhism. "
Opposite Kongsamadhi, there is another person sitting cross-legged.
This man was majestic, dressed in black, masked, and always holding a long knife in his hand.
The sword holder!
"How about you lend me the spiritual stele that Taoist Ancestor left behind when he came to the west and was poisoned when he passed by. I can help you spread the scriptures in Han Dynasty, how about it?" said the sword holder.
Kong Samadhi: "Hundreds of years ago, there was an old man who rode a green bull and walked between heaven and earth with a purple rainbow. When the poison entered my body, he stopped and looked at the holy river. It is said that he once stopped to discuss the Dharma with the Buddha. Go away through the air.
He and the Buddha jointly formed a spiritual tablet. It is true that it is in my hands, but if you are not my disciple, you cannot view it! "
"You want me to turn to Buddhism?"
There seemed to be a smile on the face of the sword holder under the scarf:
"My suggestion is that you think about it again. I will stay in the poison for two days."
“Also, I advise you to be careful.
The Han army came south from the Western Regions, and the city of Gandhara where you are located is only a few hundred miles away from the Han army. The champion marches at an extraordinary speed and uses his troops with unpredictable abilities. He may attack you at any time. "
Kong Samadhi did not feel dissatisfied: "I am afraid that he will not come because of the poison in my body."
After saying this, he waved his hand to find a disciple and led the sword bearer down to rest.
After the sword holder left, Kongsamadhi stretched out his hand, and the Buddha's light in front of him reflected the void, and another image appeared: "Have you been prepared?"
"I've been ready since I came back from Jiyan City."
What is revealed on the opposite side is the formless ignorance with its back to all sentient beings: "What sutra are you going to preach today?"
"Lotus Purana." Kongsamadhi replied.
————
The gates of Gandhara City are heavily guarded.
When Huo Qubing and his entourage came in, they saw a huge wooden chariot pulled by elephants, and hundreds of soldiers guarding the city gate.
Huo Qubing used a small trick to conceal the truth and led everyone into the city.
They behaved quite leisurely and looked around.
Most people with body poisoning walk barefoot or wear straw shoes and hold something on their head.
What surprised Huo Qubing was that on the wall not far from the city, there was an image of a demon king with six arms, and many people were watching.
"This looks like the appearance of Chi You's Yin body and mine."
"It's not like that, it's you, Lord Marquis. You are the image of a devil in this human body poisoning place."
"It is said that during the sutra meetings held in recent days, there will be stories about evil spirits that destroy the world and bring disasters to the body through war.
Call on all living beings with poisonous bodies to gather their strength to resist evil spirits and troubled times. "
Bai Nanyu covered up her flowery face and turned into a thick-skinned woman with red dots on her eyebrows. However, her gait was graceful and her figure was enchanting. As she walked along the road, she still attracted a lot of people. of attention.
Entering Gandhara City, you can feel the strong Buddhist atmosphere here.
In the eyes of those who are good at observing Qi, the light of Buddha spreads throughout the city.
"Where is the prayer center?"
"The center of the city." Bai Nanyu said.
In the center of the city with rows of buildings, there is a magnificent domed building, white in color and bathed in Buddha's light.
"This city is the largest city in the northwest since the Mauryan Dynasty."
Luoshna, who was on Huo Qubing's left hand side, said.
On the other side of him is King Hunxie.
Later, there were Fu Luzhi, Zhao Anji, and a small group of embroidered men and horses scattered.
When several people entered the city, they became more vigilant.
In the perception, in the central direction of the city, the Buddha's Light Abyss is as deep as the vast sea.
And there is a hidden force that is very repulsive to them and suppresses their practice invisibly.
In this city, apart from Buddhism, the power of other practices has dropped sharply.
Fu Luzhi and Zhao Anji were not surprised but happy, even a little excited, and were ready to make a big fuss with Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing had also heard of the Mauryan Dynasty.
Its heyday was under the rule of King Asoka, who was known to future generations.
The Maurya Dynasty was the first truly unified centralized state in the world. It established a standing army of 600,000 people including infantry, cavalry, chariot troops, sailors, elephants and logistics troops. Extremely powerful.
Compared with China, the time of its horizontal existence was that of Great Qin!
Several people were talking to each other while approaching the center of the city.
The sun sets late, and the clouds are like fire.
In every household in Gandhara City, there are people approaching the prayer sites in the city, holding Buddhist rituals in their hands and looking pious.
Although the Buddha in the Body Poison is divided into different sects, the overall situation is that one family dominates. It is different from the Qin and Han Dynasties when hundreds of schools of thought contended and three religions and nine streams coexisted.
As he approaches the center of the city, the sound of scriptures flowing out of the void resonates with the soul.
In front of the central hall is a large square paved with white stones.
There are Buddhas standing at the door, like a Dharma protector, looking at everyone who enters the prayer site with stern eyes.
Huo Qubing made a gesture, and the people embroidering clothes dispersed and went about their own business, heading in other directions.
Huo Qubing, Roshna, Bai Nanyu, King Hunxie, Fu Luzhi, and Zhao Anji walked towards the gate of the scripture field.
The gate is formed by two round tower-like columns, one on the left and one on the right.
When Huo Qubing passed by, several guards at the gate were in an inexplicable trance and allowed them to pass through without noticing.
As soon as I entered the prayer hall, the scene in front of me suddenly changed.
The ground turned into a light golden color, and the imprint of a lotus flower was born, withered, and then reappeared on the golden sutra bricks, alternating repeatedly.
On the stems and leaves of the lotus, the imprint of scripture shines brightly.
And countless small lotus leaves build a huge lotus, covering a circular square that extends hundreds of feet.
At the core of the square, golden light surged and a lotus platform rose.
What is special is that there are nine lotus leaves near the lotus platform. On one of the lotus leaves, there is a blue peacock bird squatting.
Its feathers are intertwined with the light of scriptures. It is a sacred bird of protection in Buddhism, evolved and gathered from the power of Buddha.
The peacock stood with its wings hanging down and was about six feet long. Standing on the sutra leaf, it scanned the thousands of disciples in the square below, as if it could see everything.
“Today I’m going to talk about the Padma Purana!”
Roshna's deep and clear eyes showed a vivid expression of interest:
"The Lotus Purana explains the secrets of life and death and the changes in reincarnation. It is said that just listening to the sounds of the sutra can prolong life."
The believers who came in sat on the ground, and in front of each of them was a brilliant scripture lotus, emerging from the golden halo on the ground.
Looking at the entire square, it looks like a huge prayer pool.
Countless lotus flowers carry scriptures, rise and fall in the prayer pool of the square, and finally gather under the rosette in the center.
Huo Qubing and others also took their own seats, waiting for the lecture to begin.
An interesting thing happened when they were seated. Fu Luzhi and Zhao Anji wanted to sit behind Huo Qu's sick bed, but their seats were occupied by two people who came first.
Fu Luzhi stepped forward and slapped the poisonous man twice, pointing to the side and telling him to get out.
Seeing his ferocious look, the two poisonous men were so angry that they dared not speak out, so they got up and left.
Fu Luzhi and Zhao Anji succeeded in taking over.
Soon after, the clear and melodious Buddhist bell rang.
On the sutra seat in the center of the square, the light of the Buddha suddenly shines.
Next to the divine bird peacock, a figure appears, draped in Buddhist robes with scrolls, Buddha light flowing like a river on his back, and a majestic treasure, sitting cross-legged, it is the head of the emptiness Samadhi.
Looking at his position in the prayer hall, he was as huge as a mountain, more than ten feet tall, and extremely mysterious.
Huo Qubing thought to himself: This sutra field is like a huge magic circle, like the realm of Kongsamadhi, and has the same principles as the military formations of military strategists.
Every time he lectures, it is equivalent to a military strategist going to the battlefield and gathering troops. The lecturer takes the opportunity to induce and gather the power of believers to achieve his own success.
Of course, as a believer, you are not simply being ripped off.
They themselves can also benefit from the process.
Therefore, the number of believers increases day by day, and both parties improve together.
At this time, a pleasant voice came from above, and the head of Kongsamadhi closed his eyes and began to preach the Buddhist sutra: "Lotus passed away, I only want to listen and accept it, I will speak roughly.
The mother of Buddha said: May the saint speak.
If there are sentient beings who do not respect the Buddha, slander the Three Jewels and the Three Treasures, and do not respect the sutras...and are willing to hear about the retribution of sins in Jambudvipa and the evil destinies..."
King Hunxie and Fu Luzhi kept their ears open at first, wanting to hear what was going on in Buddhism, but soon they became drowsy.
Fu Luzhi was shocked and said: "Master Hou, this Buddhist practice is really amazing."
Huo Qubing was also a little surprised: "Do you understand?"
Fu Luzhi said: "I can't understand what he's saying, but I feel sleepy when he talks. Is he trying to persuade people to sleep?"
Huo Qubing nodded: "It seems that you are a wise man."
Roshna and Bai Nanyu almost laughed out loud.
In the square, the voice of the lecture paused slightly, and Buddha's light spread out. Countless scriptures surged and dispersed with the Buddha's light, visible to the naked eye in the void.
The peacock above sang softly, spread its wings and flew from the rosette, scattering the Buddha's light like rain.
Roshna said: "This is the empty samadhi giving back to the believers. He released his understanding of the Lotus Purana and promoted a flow of luck that had been accumulated for hundreds of years in the square sutra pool. The Buddha's power rose for believers to absorb."
"Absorb casually?" Huo Qubing asked.
"Yes, if you can absorb a lot of Buddhist power, luck, and sutra thoughts, it means you have the wisdom to cultivate Buddhism. Those with excellent talents may even be accepted as disciples by Kongsamadhi."
Huo Qubing: "Since it is absorbed casually, the halo rising from the sutra pool contains very pure spiritual power (belief). After absorption, it can be used to refine the power and eliminate the influence of Buddhist sutras, which will be beneficial and harmless. Let's There’s no need to be polite.”
Fu Luzhi and others immediately became energetic and opened their cheeks, intending to absorb the golden light that was coming.
Roshna said: "You are not Buddhists, so you cannot absorb the Buddhist energy."
Huo Qubing smiled and said, "I'll give it a try. Swallow it!"
In the shadow behind him, Chi You opened his mouth.
Boom!
The atmosphere of the entire meditation field suddenly changed, like a long river flowing, and the powerful energy gathered like an ocean pouring back, and was swallowed by Chi You in one gulp.
At the central sutra pool, the Buddha's light quickly dried up and its light decreased sharply.
Click!
The lotus pedestal under Kong Samadhi's body was pulled by Chi You's vomiting, and some of the scripture imprints collapsed and were extracted.
He was obviously taken aback, and his eyes that had been closed suddenly opened and looked at Huo Qubing's position.
The next moment, he stood up from his position: "World Destroyer Demon!"
Chi You also showed his figure, he was huge and tall, and he punched without any ceremony.
A black air column hit Kongsamadhi!
boom!
The loud noise shook the sky.
The entire Gandhara city exploded with golden and black auras intertwined from the center, spreading in all directions like waves.
