Chapter 436 Snakes Sing in the Zen Forest, Monks Sweep

In the Buddhist temple, many elderly monks sat facing each other.

They had already heard the singing of snakes under the pagoda before, and it almost looked like a dragon singing. The punishment of suppressing under the Buddhist temple for thousands of years and using their own cultivation to feed back the land veins in the south of the Yangtze River is like the penance of Buddhism. It's good to get through it.

"The thousand-year seal, I'm afraid it can't be sealed."

The abbot of Jinshan Temple closed his eyes and sighed: "The White Snake has been suppressed for thousands of years, and once he escapes from the predicament, I am afraid that he will hate me... Sigh, the Legend of the White Snake, the Legend of the White Snake, I have always only hoped that this is just a legend, but this I'm afraid it's true."

Many monks looked bitter.

"Wish to live and die with Buddhist temples."

A monk spoke in a low voice.

But the abbot glared at him: "What are you living and dying together?"

"Here is just a broken temple. The temple is a pile of broken stones. The temple will not die. Those stones are broken and rebuilt. The house can be built again. When people die, they have nothing. Starting from tomorrow , the temple will no longer entertain pilgrims, and find a way to strengthen the seal of Leifeng Pagoda, if it doesn't work..."

The old abbot sighed, but didn't say the next thing.

But the rest of the monks also knew that if it didn't work, they had no choice but to abandon the ancestral land and leave here. When they noticed the seal earlier, they had already contacted the special operations team, but they found it too late.

One of the monks looked at the alms bowl enshrined on the table and a string of Buddhist beads with complicated eyes.

"If the Legend of the White Snake is true, then this thing..."

The old monk said: "This is a relic left by the patriarch."

Jinshan Temple began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, beginning with Emperor Wu of Liang, but after the mighty extermination of Buddhism, this vein naturally withered. In the current Jinshan Temple orthodoxy, the patriarch is named Pei Toutuo, who is Fahai and Zen Zhenglin. More than a hundred years ago, it was one of the four famous Zen temples.

The old abbot sighed: "I looked through the records in the classics, and said that the master once suppressed Bai Suzhen under the Leifeng Pagoda. Later, he was worried that the snake demon's cultivation would be too high and the Leifeng Pagoda would collapse, so he brought her back to Jinshan Temple. , using the voice of Buddhist chanting to suppress her evil spirit, and in the blink of an eye for a thousand years, this snake demon appearance has become."

"The old man tried to lift this monk's bowl before."

"But although this monk's bowl looks small, it is actually extremely heavy. With your strength and mine, it is impossible to lift it up. However, maybe there are some Buddhists who surpass the old monk and can use this magic weapon."

Many monks stepped forward to try one by one.

Their expressions were solemn and quiet, and they recited Buddhist scriptures silently in their hearts. When touching the monk's bowl, they faintly heard and whispered in their ears, like an old monk solemnly asking himself, where is the Dharma? , have their own views on the profound meaning of Buddhist scriptures.

Some people say it is between heaven and earth, while others say it is between all things.

Others say that it is in the past and the future, the Buddhas of the three times; it is in the universe and all things, the cause and effect of coming and going.

They all have a point.

But it can't shake the monk's bowl.

Those who say that the Dharma is between heaven and earth, the bowl is as huge as the real world, and those who say that the Dharma is between all things, this small monk's bowl is as heavy as if it contains everything in the world, no matter how hard you try With the strength of two tigers, they couldn't pick up the monk's bowl, and they couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

Could it be that the Jinshan Temple could only collapse under the raging snake demon?

Just when the old monk was in grief, but he summoned up his energy and uttered the Buddha's name, intending to comfort the fellow disciples, a group of monks hurriedly pushed the door and entered with panic-stricken faces, as if they had encountered something extremely inconceivable.

"Abbot, all teachers, outside, outside..."

And at this time, there is no need to listen to what the young monk said.

These old monks could already hear it from a distance, the Buddha bell was heavy, like thunder, it rang twelve times in a row.

The Buddha said that there are twelve causes and conditions for the sudden enlightenment of sorrow and suffering in the world, from "ignorance" to "old age and death".

In a word, Buddha nature.

The abbot of Jinshan Temple got up quickly and said, "Who is here?"

After walking a few steps, he saw a tall monk wearing a gray robe standing at the door. The abbot of Jinshan Temple was slightly taken aback. The monk in front of him seemed to have changed. , but it seems to have turned into another person.

And this changed appearance, for some reason, is extremely familiar...

The old abbot watched in a daze.

Immediately, he finally remembered something, and his complexion changed suddenly.

Accompanied by a low cry, all the monks here turned their heads and looked at the table case, on which there were enshrined monk bowls and Buddhist beads, and on the wall behind was a portrait of a Looking at the old monk with an ancient and clumsy face, his face is actually the same as this visitor.

The old abbot murmured in his heart:

"Ancestor, Patriarch...?!"

Yuanjue put one hand on his chest, and replied honestly:

"It's just a group of monks."

The abbot didn't dare to neglect, clasped his palms together and saluted, saying:

"I don't know where the ancestor... the master settled down?"

Yuanjue looked at the old monk and suddenly called out, "Monk."

The old abbot was startled, and replied, "Yes!"

Yuanjue smiled back and asked, "Where is it?"

The old monk was stunned, as if struck by lightning in his heart, and after a long time, he answered in a low voice.

"……in the world."

Yuanjue stopped answering and looked at the pagoda over there. The White Snake was sealed during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty. There were still 24 years before the millennium. It seems that there is another reason, the recovery time of the white snake was earlier.

It's time to understand why this time.

Without knowing what to do, the monk's bowl and a string of Buddhist beads lit up a faint Buddha's light, and then flew towards Yuanjue in front of the eyes of many monks, swept the sleeves and put them into the cuffs, and at this moment, the Buddha bell suddenly rang again The pagoda of Jinshan Temple shook violently.

There was the faint neighing of a giant snake.

……………………

Just now, Yuanjue took a step forward, and he uttered the Buddha's name, which caused the wind to stop in all directions, and the Buddha's bell did not stop.

Already conspicuous enough.

Now he went up the mountain swiftly by himself, but exposed Wei Yuan to a bunch of strange and curious eyes—since Taoism and Buddhism discussed dharma, and after all the methods of practice were popularized, the practice world is no longer like that. It was a cognition that was hidden from the outside world as before, but slowly returned to the ordinary world.

Generally speaking, after something mysterious enters the eyes of the public, is understood, and is well known.

The public will try to analyze this kind of thing with the logic and rules they are familiar with.

So some of the racial characteristics of China began to gradually emerge.

For example... the professional skills developed by Chinese students in each exam.

We don't need to understand the principle of the problem.

We just need to answer the questions correctly.

It is the so-called test-taking skills.

Correspondingly, there are also test-taking skills in the test of practice.

For example, hug the thigh, hug the thigh, still hug the thigh.

It is too difficult to find a cliff to jump off to find a cave or an expert, so it is a cost-effective choice to try your luck in various places with legends.

On the one hand, I can relax, and on the other hand, I can also see if I can meet any high-level people. Seeing my own bones are amazed and talented, so I will take myself under the door.

Now Wudang Mountain, the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain are a little bit unbearable.

Maoshanzong of the Shangqing Dynasty was even more annoyed, wishing he could shout outside with a loudspeaker.

I have said it eight hundred times, eight hundred times, we are the orthodox of the Three Qing Dynasty, the patriarch Ge Hong, who read the "Huang Ting Jing", if you want to transfer to the professional course of exorcising corpses, please go to Xiangxi, where it is more professional.

Also don't send harassing text messages asking what, whether the zombies for entry-level training are sent by the sect or brought by themselves.

What era is it, let me know about the crime of insulting a corpse?

After Lin Shouyi almost committed a high blood pressure crime, he made a decision in his heart. In the future, disciples who are going to start must first memorize the criminal law three or five times.

Although Jinshan Temple is not as crowded as places like Maoshan Sect and Wudang Mountain in the Shangqing Dynasty, the legend of the White Snake is widely spread, and many people come here, wanting to try their luck and meet the fate of immortals. Lay disciples are also good.

Wouldn't it be better if I met that empress Bai Suzhen by chance?

Seeing the strangeness that had just been realized, these people who came to seek immortality naturally saw Wei Yuan, but when they saw Wei Yuan coughing several times, as if he was seriously ill, they looked away, and Wei Yuan swept his eyes. , watching the scenery here, but another voice attracted his attention.

When all the people were discussing just realizing their awakening, only one old monk was still sweeping.

Under an old tree, a monk in a gray robe with wrinkled face gently sweeps the fallen leaves.

Peace and calm.

Seemingly noticing Wei Yuan's gaze, he raised his eyes.

Turning around, he nodded slightly towards Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan returned the gift.

Just as he was about to chat with the monk for a few words, suddenly bursts of humming sound exploded.

There was a moment of silence.

It was as if some kind of fear lurking deep in the blood seized the entire Jinshan Temple people in an instant.

Wei Yuan raised his head slowly, and saw that the clouds in the sky were erratic, and there was a faint moist water vapor lingering around the tip of his nose. With a loud click, the stupa located in Jinshan Temple shook violently, and the spire of the stupa shook violently. Collapse directly.

An afterimage soared into the sky.

Amidst the lingering clouds, a white outline as hard as steel is faintly revealed.
