Chapter 390 Longxing Temple
"Who do you think we should look for?"
This time the King of Knife spoke. Under his gaze, Wang Daoling narrowed his eyes to cover the filling and smile, and said, "It shouldn't be us looking for anyone, but let them come to us? Although there are few Buddhist footprints near Qiantang County, the infiltration of Buddhist sect has never been cut off. There are also several famous temples here."
When the King of Knife heard this, he immediately knew what the other party was thinking. It would be better for them to ask the Buddhist temple to seek help from others than to ask the Buddhist temple to help him. The King of Knife, who had lived in Qiantang County for a long time, thought for a while and said, "Are you talking about Longxing Temple or Lingyin Temple?"
"Longxing Temple?" Bai Suzhen frowned. As a white snake that has been practicing for thousands of years, she has lived in the south for hundreds of years. She has heard of Longxing Temple and Lingyin Temple.
Compared with Lingyin Temple, which has been destroyed for more than ten years, Bai Suzhen has a very bad sense of Longxing Temple due to Fahai.
Old man Yu next to her heard this, but he showed a little nostalgia and said, "Did Longxing Temple? I really haven't heard this name for a long time."
The name Longxing Temple is an unfamiliar place for the residents of Qiantang County today, but within Buddhism, the temple has a great reputation. If it were not for its destruction, its status would have been not low.
The status and fame of Longxing Temple lies in the fact that many eminent monks and masters born in the south were ordained here. For example, Fahai’s teacher Zen Master Lingyou took full precepts in Longxing Temple in the past, and later studied the Mahayana and Hinayana teachings.
After the destruction of Longxing Temple, Zen Master Lingyou had to go out for a trip. He met the Zen master a hundred feet of his sea and was given a pre-demand broadcast and founded the Shanxi Yang lineage.
The Fahai Association established Jinshan Temple in Jinshan, which was not just a matter of wanting to establish Buddhist beliefs here to lay the foundation for the future development of Longxing Temple. As for why he did not choose to rebuild the temple directly in Qiantang County, he was concerned about the Lord of Tiangai and Xuantian. When the Martial Arts Emperor was in charge of the world, many Buddhist monks also went to the south to build temples, trying to avenge the previous shame and establish a stable Pure Land of the Buddha in the south.
Among them, another Lingyin Temple, which was established in Qiantang County, was also the place where monks of the Yangqi School, a contemporary Buddhist genius, became a monk.
But as Taoist Yuan made trouble and reconstructed the country, Lingyin Temple declined more and more as the Buddhist temple retreated. Before Jiazi, there was not even a single practitioner. Monk Daoji, who had learned Buddhism from Buddhist scriptures, had to leave Lingyin Temple and transfer to the Yangqi Sect after he cultivated magic power.
"It is said that after monk Daoji succeeded in his practice, he wanted to come back to stay in Lingyin Temple and build a pure land of Buddha. Unfortunately, before entering Qiantang County, he was blocked by the disciples of Tiangai Di Xuantian who were ambushing around him. No one knows what happened during this period."
Old man Yu spoke again, and turned to look at the King of Dao and said, "Fellow Daoist seems to be nearby that day. When I go over and ask you, you always don't answer me. I wonder if I can solve my doubts today?"
Seeing everyone's eyes, Dao Wang said calmly: "What else can I do? The Lord of Tiangai Di Xuantian saw that the situation was not good, so he took action himself to bully the small. At the beginning, you and I were just a casual cultivator. I have the courage to tell you, do you have the courage to listen?"
"Just that's it?" Old Man Yu said in surprise: "As far as I know, Monk Daoji was considered a Taoist monk before this battle, with a solemn appearance."
"After that battle, Monk Daoji appeared in front of everyone in his sloppy image. For a moment, children's songs were heard in the southern areas, 'Shoes were broken, hats were broken, and fan was broken...'"
"You don't understand this." The King of Knife sneered: "The relationship between Buddhism and Taoism was very ambiguous back then. Although the Lord of Tiangai Di Xuantian was not easy to kill Daoji directly, he would never want to have such a genius-like enemy in his own home. He deliberately took action and used secret techniques to target him in the name of a test, just like the story of the previous dynasty's prime minister targeting Yu Langjun."
Bai Suzhen heard this and sneered: "Wouldn't Daoji be angry to death?"
The story of the former dynasty Wang Zai and Yu Langjun is very simple. In the previous dynasty, although there were elections and imperial examinations, the power of the aristocratic families was almost completely overwhelmed by one. The Wang Zai Langjun was one of the aristocratic families at that time, and Yu Langjun was a very talented poor family.
At that time, Yulangjun was not yet old and was elected as an official. However, the Prime Minister sent him back on the grounds that the other party was too young.
The second time, Jade Langjun was just over the twentieth crown and was elected. The Prime Minister released the young man on the grounds that he needed to be trained.
Then, Prime Minister Wang was embarrassed again, and gave him a little finance, which made a good story.
But in fact, the first time Jade Langjun was suppressed was because there were a few aristocratic families among the people elected with him at that time, and someone needed to hang their seats. The second time this was the seat that was originally left for him, and it had been secretly promised to another aristocratic family.
The third time, it was the Prime Minister Wang who deliberately made a difficult situation. As for the so-called help later, it was just a far-fetched approach, and it was more of the public opinion control of the aristocratic families.
But in the end, this incident became a story about the prime minister's three tests of the talent of the jade man.
So later, there were even rumors that Jade Langjun was angry to death.
Wang Daoling heard this and said with a smile: "Zen Master Fahai, a lineage, has already established Jinshan Temple in Jinshan, so it is very difficult to build a temple in Qiantang. Since Monk Daoji has had this experience, he will definitely come to help and it is more suitable for us."
"What else?" Yu Chen looked at Wang Daoling and asked softly. He didn't believe that Wang Daoling chose Monk Daoling because of this.
"The real person's clarification." Wang Daoling stood up and bowed, but his movements were a bit big. He didn't know which wound he touched, and showed a slight painful expression.
Seeing this, Yuchen laughed and scolded, "Come on, I don't know how much effort Suzhen puts into it? It's not that there is no other effect except to make you suffer. Bear it. You're not going to blame her."
When Wang Daoling heard this, he immediately smiled. Yuchen's words meant that what happened to him and Bai Suzhen had turned the pages before.
Wang Daoling, who felt refreshed, immediately said seriously: "In addition to the reason I mentioned earlier, I also received a message some time ago that Monk Daoji's cultivation has made another breakthrough, and I plan to take a look in Qiantang County."
"Oh?" Yu Chen responded and asked again: "What are you going to do?"
"The Luo family in Qiantang County has always believed in Buddhism. The older generation has helped the monks of Lingyin Temple, but now it has declined a lot. The second master of the Luo family has always believed that his family has declined because the older generation believes in Buddhism, which has led to his rejection. He is resentful about this. We only need to let Daoji and Luo Erye know each other's existence."
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "I have seen Mr. Luo you mentioned. He is just a person who is very fond of merit. A large part of the decline of the Luo family over the years is because of himself. As for the problem of Buddhism, it only accounts for a small part."
Speaking of this, Bai Suzhen showed a sarcastic expression on her face and said, "After all, Buddhism has not yet declined. Although these gentry are far less knowledgeable than the aristocratic families, they are also the best at changing their minds. At the last moment, they will never offend Buddhism easily."
Bai Suzhen's words can actually be regarded as helping Wang Daoling, or expressing that he is willing to help the reconstruction of Lingyin Temple. Yu Chen nodded and looked at Old Man Yu and King of Knife again.
The two looked at each other, and the old man said, "For us, there is no difference between Longxing Temple or Lingyin Temple, and the real person gave him the order."
When Yu Chen heard this, he looked at Wang Daoling: "In this way, I will leave it to you about contacting Monk Daoji."
Then, he looked at the others and said, "If you have time, you can help me."
"Abide by the law of real people."
Several people stood up to salute, then slowly retreated. After they left, Yuchen looked at the side and said, "Fellow Taoist also saw it. Longxing Temple has no chance to reappear."
"Amitabha! The establishment of Longxing Temple in the past was built to seize the dragon energy of this place. Now that I am disgusted by the earth veins here, it is just a cycle of cause and condition, and the consequences are revealed. I am just doing my best to do my part and leaving the will of heaven."
A sigh sounded, and then an old monk with a peaceful expression, yellow face and thin face walked out of nothingness. He held a rosary in one hand and a thousand-leaf golden lotus in the other. It was Zen Master Fahai's teacher, the pioneer of the lineage, Zen Master Lingyou, the great master of Zen Buddhism.
In fact, when Wang Daoling suddenly asked for a meeting and Bai Suzhen stood up and planned to say goodbye, this Buddhist master had already come here to convey the message to Yuchen, saying that Daolen Yuan was preparing to use the help of the aristocratic family to attack him, hoping that he would be careful.
In addition, Zen Master Lingyou also expressed his willingness to help Yuchen deal with Yuan Daoren and people from aristocratic families.
As a price, Yuchen needed to agree to reestablish Longxing Temple in Qiantang County.
It is also because of this that Yuchen summoned Bai Suzhen and others to discuss things later.
Bai Suzhen and others also saw something, and Wang Daoling even took the opportunity to find Buddhist help.
As for the later choice of Lingyin Temple rather than Longxing Temple, did he see that Yuchen also did not like Longxing Temple, or was really affected by the local veins here and had a bad sense of Longxing Temple. Even Yuchen could not tell it out for a while.
But no matter what, Yuchen's purpose was achieved. He smiled and looked at Zen Master Lingyou, and said lies with a lie: "I know that there is a water dragon in this West Lake, but I don't know what the mystery of this water dragon is, which makes both masters of Buddhism and Taoism want to compete."
"Amitabha!" Zen Master Lingyou didn't believe a single word about Yuchen's words, but at this moment he also knew that Longxing Temple had another difficulty. He expected to keep this secret, so he might as well exchange it with Yuchen.
Therefore, after a moment of silence, Zen Master Lingyou said bluntly: "The water dragon in the West Lake originated from the Qiantang Dragon Lord in the past, and the Qiantang Dragon Lord was the younger brother of the Dongting Dragon Lord, which contained the root of the water veins of the heaven and earth. Therefore, this water dragon can also be called half of the ancestor dragon vein. It not only has the ability to bring the dynasty back to life, but also contains the secrets of heaven and earth, and can serve as a bridge between us and the heaven and man."
"The bridge between heaven and man?" Yu Chen raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Do you want to use this water dragon to ascend to the Heavenly Mansion?"
"That's right." Zen Master Lingyou nodded, and the thousand-leaf golden lotus in his hand shook gently, and the golden glow turned, and the fallen flowers were colorful, which looked very beautiful. In a vague, Sanskrit appeared in the void, isolating the internal and external qi and preventing anyone from spying on it.
"My fellow Taoist returned from the disaster and thought that he could feel that the world had been rejected by the world and the connection between us and the heavenly mansion became increasingly thin. It is said that in the Han Dynasty, monks like fellow Taoist could try to ascend to the feathers and ascend to the legendary holy land of heaven. Buddhist monks could also transform into a rainbow and go to the Western Paradise. But now..."
The speed of pulling the rosary in Zen Master Lingyou's hand increased slightly and sighed: "Although I can still feel the breath of the Pure Land, it is like seeing flowers in the fog, unable to see clearly or touch them."
‘Of course you can’t see clearly, you can’t touch it.’ Yu Chen secretly complained in his heart but was also very surprised. He really didn’t expect that this dungeon world was so special, and there was also the legendary existence of the heaven.
The most serious thing is that according to Zen Master Lingyou in front of you, this heaven is probably not a cave that is attached to the outer world, but another more high-end world.
But in this way, many things can be explained.
For example, why is this world stuck at the last point of golden color, and why is the will of this world so repulsive to monks. If the monk system in this world is not a local product, but is the result of the erosion of higher-level worlds, then it is very normal for the world to reject it.
And Yu Chen seriously doubted whether the last calamity corresponding to this world was targeted at all the monks' Dharma-Ending Calamities.
Think about it carefully, the special forces he has seen now correspond to the humanitarian number of energy.
The former targets the dynasty, where love, hate, and love are easily eroded and the dynasty itself is trapped in internal friction.
The latter is a demon clan, representing the external dynasty, killing swords and killing on earth, which is also a way to eliminate human energy.
If this is true, these two people will inevitably face Taoist Yuan. As the guardian of today's dynasty, Yuan has a complicated relationship with many aristocratic families. If he really fights, he will bring out many originally irrelevant people. The three parties intertwined, which will inevitably bring about the real personal path into it.
Then, the West Lake where Yuchen is now is just the place where the water dragon can continue the dynasty's energy.
This means that, as one of the hinterlands of the Immortal Path, it is very likely to become one of the main battlefields.
Once the fight starts, the Buddhist sect will also get a hand in it, and some people will even be happy to let the Buddhist sect fall into it together.
In addition, the more chaotic and active the magic, Yu Chen could already imagine the scenes of fighting and the more terrifying battles.
‘The only problem is that this guess is a bit inconsistent with some of the information I collected in the past!’ Yu Chen thought in his heart that this situation in some worlds in previous lives corresponds to the world itself being modified by history, or the world itself has problems.
Thinking of this, Yuchen couldn't help but want to throw the table. If he remembered correctly, at the beginning, he came to this dungeon world to cultivate his second soul and his inner world.
‘So, why did I go to the middle of the vortex of the world, as I practiced, and ran into the middle of the vortex of the calamity of heaven and earth? I remember what I practiced has nothing to do with the Five Calamity Sutra of the Era! I didn’t practice any response and disaster, and it was just that I was so bad! This must be a scourge!’
