Chapter 140

Seventy miles away from Chang'an City, there is a dilapidated village temple, which is said to be a temple, but what is enshrined is not the Buddha arhat, nor the great wheel Ming king, but an earth temple. But there is no doubt that as long as the temple is in the big Sui Dynasty, the incense can not be expected to flourish. The land lord in the temple may feel very oppressed and moved away in a rage. Later, someone in the village demolished the house when the materials were not enough, so that after a long time, only four residual walls remained in the temple.

The Central Plains Dynasty before the great Sui Dynasty was called Da Zheng, the royal family Wang. However, the Wang family and the Wang family in Jiangnan are not the same. After more than 400 years, they finally collapsed. However, the most similar thing between Wang's great Zheng and the current great Sui Dynasty is that the two dynasties were not interested in Buddhism.

The difference is that Da Zheng opened a gap for Buddhism. Some monks from the West came to the Central Plains to preach. Although they did not let Buddhism carry forward, they barely stood on their feet. After the collapse of the great Zheng Dynasty, Emperor Taizu of the great Sui Dynasty ordered to expel monks from the country. Since then, there has been no Buddha in the Central Plains. It is said that the reason why emperor Taizu hated monks so much was that when he set up the army, people of Buddhism had secretly helped the Da Zheng Dynasty. With Taizu's tough temper, how can you bear it?

So people of Buddhism will say that the Central Plains is a place where demons run rampant, because the monks who managed to build a few temples in Dazheng were driven back. With a little hesitation, a big stick came.

This local temple has nothing to do with the temple of Buddhism, but it was also implicated because of the expulsion of Buddha in the great Sui Dynasty. You should know that in the hundred years from the founding of the great Sui Dynasty to the present God bless emperor Yang Yi, the great Sui Dynasty was in a period when the whole people had no religious beliefs. Taoism was highly praised only after emperor Tianyou ascended the throne. Before that, the only belief of the people in the Sui Dynasty was his majesty.

The people firmly believe that the emperor of the great Sui Dynasty can bring them a rich and beautiful life.

The successive emperors of the Sui Dynasty did this, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The rich are not arrogant and the poor are not humble. People don't need any religious beliefs for such a beautiful life. The Buddha sect can't find anything to persuade the people to oppose the violent politics of the imperial court. Even if there are some injustice in the world, it can't make the people dissatisfied with the imperial court.

This is a very strange period, this is a very strange country.

A hundred years later, even King Dalun Ming gave up the idea of continuing to preach in the Central Plains. Of course, the current king of Dalun Ming is not the same as the king of Dalun Ming a hundred years ago. The replacement of the Ming king of Buddhism is very mysterious. The last Ming king appointed a successor before sitting down. Then the Ming king will take this person into the Buddhist holy land, the secret room of the golden palace of the Ming king on the top of the snow mountain. Seven days later, the new Ming King will go out of the secret room and inherit the mantle, and the remains of the last Ming king will remain in the secret room.

No one is allowed to see the body of the last Ming king again.

No matter whether the new Ming king has advanced cultivation before taking over, he will become the first person in the world after being inherited. No one knows how to make an ordinary person become the person with the strongest Buddhist cultivation in these seven days, except the Ming king.

Many people speculate that the Buddha sect must have a wonderful method of transmitting merit. Before his death, the old Ming king passed on all his accomplishments to the new Ming king.

The earth temple is crumbling, and even the remaining four walls have collapsed. There is no shelter from the wind and rain. If the children in the village didn't come here occasionally to catch crickets and play, no one would come at all. At the corner of the wall, an old monk in grey cloth monk's clothes put down the young man in his arms. After looking at his injury, he frowned slightly and read a sentence of Ming Wang's mercy.

He took a jade bottle out of his arms and poured out a pill of dark green pills. Pried open the young man's mouth, stuffed the pill in, and then found some rainwater accumulated in the broken temple to feed the young man a few drinks. The rain fell a few days ago, and it had a fishy smell, but the old monk didn't seem to care. After feeding the young man a few drinks, he also drank some.

After drinking water, he sat down in a fairly clean place with his knees crossed and closed his eyes.

I don't know how long later, the comatose young man suddenly coughed a few times, a stream of black blood gushed out of his mouth, and his chest fluctuated violently.

The old monk slowly opened his eyes and looked at him. He saw that the young man's smooth black hair fell on the ground like snow for a moment. Not long ago, there was no hair on that head.

The old monk waited for the young man to lose all his hair and couldn't help nodding without seeing him spit blood again. He got up, walked over and helped the young monk sit up. He opened his ragged clothes and looked. The blood holes in the young man's body had scarred.

I don't know what pill the old monk fed before. It has this magical effect.

After a while, the young monk woke up slowly. He opened his eyes and saw the kind-hearted old monk looking at himself. He quickly got up and knelt down and kowtowed.

"My disciple is incompetent. Please punish me."

……

……

The old monk sat cross legged on the ground, smiled and said to chenya, "before coming to the great Sui Dynasty, I'm sure you'll have a disaster. If you can survive, it's a good thing for your cultivation."

"If there were no master, the disciple would have died."

The dust end is the first way.

"You fool, I'm your master and you're my disciple. I won't help you overcome the disaster. Who will help you? When you left the snow mountain, I gave you a sumitan. I expected you to suffer a bloody disaster. Unfortunately, you fool was so obsessed that you turned the sumitan into a killing weapon. Instead of retreating from the enemy, he nearly died. I want to use another Bodhi pill Saving your life is my dissatisfaction. "

"I know I'm wrong."

Chen Ya worshipped and said, "if I underestimated the Sui people, I will lose today."

"Being able to recognize your mistakes and reflect on yourself is growth, and it's not worth your trip to the great Sui Dynasty."

"Master, how did you get to Chang'an?"

Chen Ya asked curiously.

"Before you came here, I told you that the Western Heaven and earth is a pure land, and the eastern demons are rampant. Don't think you don't pay attention to demons because of your good cultivation. Your cultivation time is still short, and you don't know how many great demons have come out of the central plains that even the king of Ming Dynasty is interested in. Eleven years ago, there was a demon who set out from Chang'an city of Sui Dynasty all the way to the West and entered the Western Heaven and earth. The king of Ming noticed , send disciples to subdue demons. "

"Who would have thought that the devil's cultivation was so high that he killed several Arhats one after another, and there were many followers around him, all of whom were of good cultivation. The Ming king heard that the disciples were killed, and sent my senior brother Da Zitian Zun and my junior brother Lingbao Tianzun down the mountain to meet the enemy. Lingbao fought against the devil, but he was defeated. Dazi took the action himself, but he didn't stop the devil's further westward journey. The western world is a pure land Because those demons came to the afterlife to make charcoal, the Ming king himself went down the mountain and became angry with King Kong, which suppressed the demon town. "

"Eleven years ago, the invasion of demons to the West was sealed up. Don't let the disciples know. Do you know why?"

"Disciple stupid"

"Because if this matter is known, the status of our Buddha sect will be shaken. All over the world, except Sui people, believe in the Ming king. Whether the disciples of the Buddha sect or ordinary people, they all know that the Ming King's cultivation is unparalleled in the world, but in that war... The Ming king was injured."

"Ah?!"

Chen Ya raised his head fiercely and looked incredible.

"Who is that man?"

He asked in surprise.

"I only know it's from the royal family of the great Sui Dynasty."

The old monk sighed: "If the disciples know about this, they will be unbearable. The king of Ming has great wisdom and knows that if this matter is publicized, ordinary people who believe in the king of Ming and disciples of Buddhism will be furious against Sui. But Sui people are all demons, how can they fear war? Once the war starts, they will burn their souls. I don't know how many people will die and destroy many rivers and mountains. Since the devil has been suppressed, The Ming king decided to seal up the matter. "

"What does this have to do with your coming to the Central Plains?"

Chen Ya asked.

The old monk was silent for a while, shook his head slowly and said, "soon after you entered the great Sui Dynasty, another demon headed west."

"Ah!"

Chen Ya was shocked by what the old monk said one after another. He felt that a heart would jump out of his throat: "but... But it was as fierce as the devil eleven years ago?"

"Although not, it is almost the same."

The old monk said: "The Ming king could not get out of the gate eleven years ago. Senior brother Shiyuan of the discipline academy took the golden monk soldiers down to the snow mountain to meet the enemy. Senior brother Dazi was afraid that the Sui people would have backup, so he asked me to go to the Central Plains to check. After all, the great devil traveled west with hundreds of followers eleven years ago, but this time, the devil only brought one person, which is very strange. Senior brother Dazi was worried that the Sui people would have future moves, so I came here. I wanted to check it secretly Look, I'll take you back. I can't imagine that there are many experts among the Sui people. Even I have to be surprised by the strong demonic nature of the Sui people. "

"Master, let's go back to the snow mountain now?"

"Well, naturally."

"But..."

Chen Ya paused for a moment and wanted to stop talking.

The old monk said calmly, "but you are unwilling, aren't you? You came to kill Fang Xie, but you almost died here. If you don't kill him, you can't be quiet, can you?"

"Yes!"

At the beginning of the dust career: "The Ming king once said that there was a little dust in the disciples' hearts. If they could not remove the dust, they would not be perfect after all. After many years of cultivation, the disciples did not know what the dust in their hearts was. After the great Sui Dynasty, they thought that the dust was a fear of strong enemies, but after a difficult time, the disciples suddenly realized that the dust in their hearts was Fang Xie, not the Taoist crane of Taoism. If they did not remove him, they would not be able to have peace in their hearts."

"Fool"

The old monk shook his head and sighed, "I thought it was difficult for you to understand the teachings of the transparent king. Who thought it would sink deeper and deeper."

"Please solve your doubts"

Chen Ya bowed down, touched his head to the ground and said sincerely, "my disciple is stupid and can't understand the truth of the Ming King's wonderful method."

The old monk looked at Chen Ya with pity and said, "you are the most intelligent disciple under my seat. I thought you could understand it without teaching you anything. Now it seems that the more intelligent a person is, the easier it is to find no direction. The dust in your heart is not any enemy, but yourself."

"Myself?"

Chen Ya was stunned and said, "I don't understand."

"You always feel that you can be perfect, so you are eager to be perfect. This is the dust in your heart. You have regarded yourself very high since you practiced at the beginning of your youth. I didn't mention it. This is my fault. Today I say to you that you know that your dust is your obsession. When you stop obsessing about perfection, you can be perfect."

"Obsession?"

Chenya was silent for a long time and bowed down again: "I understand."

"No... you don't understand."

The old monk smiled and said, "if you understand, you won't say you understand. Can you understand the beauty of Buddhism if you want to understand?"

At this time, the old monk pointed out and said, "what's that?"

Chenya looked out and saw a man coming here in the distance. With a package on his back and a stick as a crutch in his hand, he obviously came a long way.

"That's from Sui Dynasty"

Chenya road.

"Wrong"

The old monk said faintly, "that's a demon. Sui people have people's skin bags, but there are demons in the skin bags."

He looked outside and asked, "what's that?"

"That's a demon"

"Wrong"

"Ah? Why is the disciple wrong again?"

"He was born in Sui Dynasty, and his evil nature was not born. Before the evil was born, he was still a man."

"I don't understand."

"If you don't understand, you don't understand."

The old monk got up and pointed out to the people who came here from a distance. The man trembled and fell down softly.

"Bring him and let's go."

"Why take him?"

"Are you hungry?"

The old monk suddenly asked such a question.
