Luoyang.
A magnificent temple located on a hill.
The temple is continuous and magnificent, with more than hundreds of buildings in the temple, just like a small city.
Except for a copper palace that is three feet wide and half a foot high, all the buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, which look like new.
when!
The melodious bells, ringing from the big bell between the two pagodas, seem to have the power to cleanse the mind, making this temple more Zen-like.
Boom! !
Suddenly, bursts of horse hoofbeats sounded, breaking the tranquility of Jing Nian Temple. I saw groups of soldiers with strong armor and tough skills coming in like a tide, and in an instant they surrounded this world-famous holy place without leakage. .
When the young monk who was sweeping the floor in front of the temple saw this scene, he was so frightened that he ran into the courtyard and reported to the abbot and elders.
"What exactly does this Imperial Master want to do? It's really hard to figure out. You can't really take action against the Jing Nian Zen Sect, right?" A man of medium build, with slender eyes that shined with deep light, was dressed in black armor and had a sling on his waist. The general with the long sword showed doubts.
This person is called Yang Gongqing, and he is a general under Wang Shichong. However, he has long been dissatisfied with Wang Shichong's nepotism and arbitrary actions. After Wang Shichong was suppressed, he temporarily took charge of the Luoyang army.
"Amitabha, General Yang, why do you come to my Buddhist gate?" With the Buddha's name, the door of Jing Nian Zen Sect was pushed open, and a group of monks walked in.
The leader is tall and handsome, with a slender figure and an indescribable charm. He should not be over forty years old no matter what.
But Yang Gongqing's expression couldn't help but become solemn.
Because he knew that this person was Master Kong, the leader of Jing Nian Zen Sect.
Master Liao Kong practiced closed-mouthed meditation and had not spoken for decades. The person who had just pronounced the Buddha's name was a tall and burly blue-robed monk. In addition to him, there were three other people wearing different clothes, standing side by side with him.
Needless to say, these are the four fine steels of Jing Nian Zen.
No anger, no ignorance, no greed, no fear.
In addition to Master Kong and the Four Great Vajras, there were also a dense crowd of monks behind them, numbering around two hundred.
Yang Gongqing's brows jumped when he saw it. Although there were many two or three hundred monks, their breathing was long and their Qi movements were consistent. It is obvious that he not only has profound internal strength, but also is proficient in the art of combined attacks.
If these monks are determined to break out of the encirclement, I am afraid that even if his soldiers suffer heavy casualties, they may not be able to strangle all the monks here.
Yang Gongqing's scalp was numb and he quickly said: "The Imperial Master asked the officials to lead the troops to clear the way. Perhaps he admires the reputation of Jing Nian Zen and wants to burn incense and worship Buddha."
Among the four great Dharma protectors, Buchi, who is about sixty years old and has white beard and hair, put his hands together and said: "To burn incense and worship Buddha, so many soldiers are needed to protect the Dharma? Could it be that he wants to worry that I, the Pure Mind Zen Sect, will harm him?"
Another tall and thin man, Bu Tan, snorted coldly: "As an imperial master, Yu Liancheng has killed countless people, and he has repeatedly provoked disputes and caused chaos in the world."
The last monk who was not afraid shook his head and said: "Amitabha, the emperor's demonic roots are deep-rooted and cannot be resolved by Buddhism. If you don't change your mind and change your mind, you will fall into hell after death and will never be reincarnated."
Yang Gongqing took a breath of cold air.
These monks are really bold. Don't they know how domineering and cruel the current imperial master is? If you really think this is the so-called holy land of martial arts, who will you not be afraid of? "It turns out that the eminent Buddhist monk looks at me this way. It's a pity, it's a pity." A soft sigh resounded in everyone's ears, and the faces of the monks changed, because this sound came from the Jing Nian Zen Monastery.
Monk Buha asked another older monk to keep an eye on Yang Gongqing and the soldiers.
The Four Great Protectors Vajra and Master Lokong returned to the Jing Nian Zen Sect in the temple, followed the sound, and finally saw the three of them on a platform square that was a hundred feet wide, made of white stone, and surrounded by white stone railings.
These are a man and two women, both of whom are extremely beautiful. No matter whether they are appearance or demeanor, no one can find any flaws. But the temperaments of the three are different.
The man in black is ethereal and unrestrained, the barefoot girl is innocent and charming, and the woman in white skirt is noble and elegant.
These are Yu Liancheng, Hanwan and Zhu Yuyan.
"It's the Emperor's Master, the Queen of Yin, and the demon girl Hanhan from the Yingui Sect!" Buai frowned and recognized the three of them.
"What a Jing Nian Zen sect. It is indeed a holy place in the martial arts world. It is compassionate and compassionate all day long." Yulian City glanced around, with a sarcastic smile on his lips: "But if they really want to save all sentient beings, don't talk about the people in the hall. It's magnificent, but if this square is worth tens of thousands, I don't know how many people can be saved."
This is indeed an extremely "luxurious" square. In the middle, there is a bronze statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, riding on the back of a golden lion, which is about two feet high. There are also three Buddhas such as Medicine Master, Sakyamuni and Maitreya beside the niches. Colored sculptures and gold ornaments are quite impressive.
At the four edges of the white stone, in addition to the four exits of the stone steps, there are five hundred Arhats evenly distributed. They are all made of gold and bronze. Each one has a different expression and posture, but whether they open their eyes and protrude their foreheads, or lower their eyes and look inside, they are all lifelike. , no different from living people.
Even Huanwan also praised: "Even compared with the Daxing Imperial Palace, this Jingnian Temple is not inferior. Compared with our Yingui Sect, it is much shabby."
The expressions of the four Dharma Protectors changed inexplicably, and they didn't know how to refute for a moment.
"All living beings are ignorant and regard gold as precious. The Buddha does not use gold to shape his body, but all living beings use gold to become the Buddha. If you don't shape your golden body, how can you convince all living beings and promote the Dharma." A slightly obscure and deep voice sounded.
The four Vajras showed surprise, and all looked at Abbot Luokong, who had a calm expression on his face.
The words just now were spoken by Abbot Liao Kong, who has been practicing closed-mouth meditation for decades, and the Buddhist principles in them are also intriguing and thought-provoking.
"Well, you are worthy of being the abbot of Kong Kong. He is indeed very knowledgeable." Yu Liancheng held up his palms and smiled: "It's a pity that the Buddha has a golden body and is extremely extravagant. He only raised a bunch of bald donkeys with bald heads. They are of no use to the people and to the country. useless."
"Yu Liancheng! Don't try to use your words." Bu Ang raised his brows, hinting at King Kong's angry eyes: "Why did you come to Jing Nian Temple today?"
Yu Liancheng glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the silent Abbot Liao Kong again, and said calmly: "Master Liao Kong is a smart man, and he can guess why I am here."
Liao Kong opened his mouth again and said: "The He clan's jade is the most important treasure of the country. Concubine Xuan placed it in this courtyard as a gift for the future choice of a wise master. If the benefactor is the wise master of the world, in a little time, Fei Xuan will be the one. Offer it with both hands. If the benefactor is a tycoon who is bringing chaos to the country, then even if the old monk and others risk their lives, they will never let the benefactor take the Heshi Bi."
"I am the Eternal Ming Lord who wants to unify the universe and bring peace to the troubled times. Why don't you obediently present the Heshi Bi?"
Yu Liancheng chuckled, touched his chin, and seemed to be talking to himself: "You, the Pure Mind Zen Sect, are not engaged in production, but you occupy such a magnificent Buddhist city and stir up wind and rain all day long. Compared with what I will bring to you, The emperors and masters in the prosperous age of the world are the ones who really deserve to go to hell and fall into reincarnation forever."
"Presumptuous!" Monk Buwei's brows twitched, and he suddenly stepped out and struck Yulian City with a palm. The palm movement carried a huge force, and the wind roared, which should not be underestimated.
Yu Liancheng slapped lightly with his backhand.
boom!
The body of the Brave King Kong trembled and he took two steps back. However, Yulian City was swept back more than ten feet, and its figure was like a dark cloud, suddenly falling on the head of Sakyamuni Buddha. The several monks who saw it burst out with anger in their eyes.
But Yu Liancheng didn't care. He suddenly opened his arms and swept his black hair like a dragon and snake into the air. A wanton and arrogant smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"The Buddha lowered his eyebrows and nodded. The so-called universal compassion and equality of all people are just words. Have you ever opened your eyes to see all living beings? But I want to calm down the troubled times and let everyone live a stable life. Buddha is not as good as me. .”
At this moment, the sky and the earth lose color, and the situation changes. His whole person seemed to be glowing with light, shining through the endless night.
Even Hanhan and Zhu Yuyan, who were already familiar with the style of Yuliancheng, were stunned, let alone Abbot Liao Kong and others.
"Amitabha."
Suddenly, four more Buddha chants sounded together. The voices were different, some were soft, some were clear, some were hoarse, and some were powerful.
These four sounds seemed to explode out of thin air, extremely sudden. But it is full of magical Zen spirit. Even top masters such as Hanwan and Zhu Yuyan could not help but shudder for a moment, and had the idea of converting to Buddhism.
Although this thought only lasted for a moment, you can imagine the horror of the person who spoke out.
"I'm so wise, I'm going to pay tribute to the donor."
"Old man Jiaxiang, excuse me."
"Old Emperor Xin, please be polite."
"Lao Na said: "I've seen you give me a seat."
Amidst the words, four more old monks wearing cassocks appeared in the square. Some are empty-handed, some are holding a Zen staff, some are skinny, or some are tall and tall, which is quite strange.
They are none other than the four great saintly monks of Buddhism: Jiaxiang, Wisdom, Emperor Xin, and Daoxin.
These four people are not well-known among ordinary martial arts people, but when Zhu Yuyan saw these four people, she couldn't help but show caution.
Back then, even the Evil King Shi Zhixuan had no choice but to flee in embarrassment under the cooperation of the four people. No wonder the Yin Queen was so cautious.
"I'm afraid this trip will inevitably lead to trouble."
Zhu Yuyan glanced at Monk Kong. She knew that this bald man should not be underestimated. He was also the number one person in Buddhism. He had reached a state of perfection in both martial arts and Buddhism. Especially with his Buddhist martial arts, he had the ability to rejuvenate his youth. , a state of perfection.
The Holy Monk of the Emperor's Heart clasped his hands together and said: "Donor, your words are very paranoid. If you let them go, your hostility will get worse day by day. It would be better for the four of me to leave and stop fighting, and your merits will be immeasurable in the future. But Become a Buddha immediately."
Yu Liancheng didn't take it seriously, just shook his head and said: "You monks, who don't produce, don't pay grain, don't pay taxes, are really a bunch of moths. Why don't you just follow me, join the army, kill the enemy and serve the country."
The atmosphere became tense again.
Zen Master Daoxin sighed, shook his head and said: "Jade Donor, even the evil king Shi Zhixuan back then was not as terrible as your thoughts and had such a great impact. We are just waiting for you to have to go through it today."
"Come here." Yu Liancheng waved, not taking it seriously: "Whether you want to prevent me from getting He's Bi, or you want to capture me, the emperor's master, and use Buddhism to transform. Yes, just defeat me. ”
"My Buddha is compassionate, and I also have the angry eyes of Vajra. Since the benefactor is stubborn and unresponsive, we won't be polite."
Venerable Emperor Xin was the first to take action, leaping up, waving the Zen staff in his hand, and used the unique "Dzogchen Staff Technique".
This Zen staff is tough and made entirely of steel. Once it is rotated by Venerable Emperor Xin, the force of the staff breaks through the air, but it is as pervasive as mercury pouring down the ground.
The tin ring on the staff also emits a series of clear and sweet sounds, exuding a mysterious melody of great perfection and great wisdom. As soon as people listen to it, they will be in an unparalleled state of perfection, and it is almost impossible to have the will to fight.
Zen Master Daoxin raised his hands together, changing unpredictably in the air, with a wonderful and indescribable mystery, but also extremely beautiful, like a pair of butterflies chasing each other, with a strange twisting circle towards Yulian City, just in time It is the legendary Buddhist secret skill - Bodhidharma Hands.
This Bodhidharma hand also contains a strange meaning of "surrender", as if it has turned into a circle of invisible lasso to restrain Yuliancheng's actions and subdue his evil thoughts.
Zen Master Zhizhi put his hands together, and his whole body suddenly felt a heavy and majestic feeling. He suddenly pushed his hands forward, and the palm gesture immediately gave people a mysterious feeling of incomparable hugeness, filling the field of vision. It was as if a Buddha was standing on top of the sky, raising a palm to suppress a cynical evil demon who was causing trouble in the world in Yulian City.
Zen Master Jiaxiang used the "one-finger Zen" that was powerful in martial arts. He slowly stretched out his skinny palm from his sleeves, curled his four fingers inward, raised his thumb, and pressed Yulian City in the distance.
These four holy monks took action against Yulian City.
Abbot Liao Kong led the four guardian kings to kill Master and Disciple Huanwan.
