Chapter 409: Golden Chan
Jinchan Temple is continuous and magnificent, and looks solemn and solemn. After years of operation, the scale of the temple industry has gradually expanded and lived a very rich life. In terms of joining the world, the Buddhist family is many times more successful than the Taoist. It is not that the family has the advantages and disadvantages, but that the purpose and beliefs of each family are different, which leads to different development directions.
Taoism has supernatural powers, and the same is true for the Buddhist family. Various Buddhist techniques have been passed down to the world and show their power. This is the first school today. Even the position of the national master is controlled by the Buddhist family. However, the former emperor died after eating elixirs. The national master has a great responsibility and was sentenced to prison, which has also affected the temples of the large and small of the Buddhist family to a certain extent.
There is something strange about this. Originally, the old emperor was in poor health and had been relying on elixirs to support him. It was just a matter of alchemy, which was originally a Taoist tradition, but was learned by the Buddhist family and trusted by the emperor. But tracing back to the long history, there were similar examples in the original time and space of Chen and Tang Dynasty, and in the Tang Dynasty.
So many things are always dialectically connected and seem weird.
Like Taoism, there are many factions within the Buddhist family, with many names. Among them, Jinchan Temple is a lineage, one of the twelve famous temples in the world, and is alongside Yanming Temple in the capital. In Panzhou Prefecture, it is unique and very grand.
Panzhou was in chaos, wars and disasters were rampant, which made the people live in poverty. However, the golden cicada not only stood firm, but also gained more incense and the number of believers.
In the chaotic times, people are panic and need faith protection the most. In the minds of many people, there is Jinchan Temple in Panzhou, and no matter what, it cannot become a ghost. Every morning and evening, bells and drums are ringing in the temple, and the melodious sounds can calm people's hearts.
Today, at dusk.
Dangdangdang!
The bells in Jinchan Temple were rumbling.
When someone nearby heard this, he felt surprised: the bell seemed to ring early today, and it sounded quite anxious, and even seemed panicked...
Has something happened?
However, the common people couldn't think of so much for a while. Seeing the sky and heavy rain was approaching, it would be better to cook early and go to bed. This day, I was becoming more and more uneasy, and only by falling asleep can I get a little peace.
With a buzzing sound, Jinchan Temple began to close its doors early, and the gates of temples and doors were closed one after another.
"Master, what happened?"
"Master, what's wrong with today? It's closed so early?"
There are many guest rooms in Jinchan Temple, which are specially provided for the rich pilgrims to stay; some down-and-out scholars have no way to make a living, so they go to the temple to help copy scriptures, exchange for three meals a day, and local accommodation.
These people lived in the temple and found something abnormal, so they asked quickly.
The monk from Zhike quickly replied, saying that nothing happened, but seeing the storm coming, it was dark, and the abbot ordered to close the door as soon as possible.
Everyone listened, without doubt, dispersed and returned to their rooms.
In the Main Hall, monks gathered together, and all the monks of the top in the temple arrived, with white beards floating on their faces and their faces were solemn.
At the top, there is Master Leyin, and below are the Abbot, Leyuan, Lesheng, etc., each wearing a cassock and sitting in different generations.
Master Leyin clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and said, "Today's midnight is the Zhongyuan Festival, and the Ghost Gate is wide open. But this year is different from the past. I just observed the breath in the city and saw the yin energy rolling and swarming. There may be a great disaster in this city."
Na Leyuan said: "Abbot, the little Taoist priest from Fushan Temple came yesterday, and he talked about this matter. He wanted to join forces with us to subdue demons and defend the Tao."
The next head snorted and said, "How can he be the only junior? Those old Taoists are not here and have no sincerity. In my opinion, it is just that this little Taoist priest feels that the disaster is coming, so he comes to ask for protection. But he said that he wants to join forces to get a good name and give all his strength. He will jump around for a few times and earn a good reputation for Fushan Temple. Is there such a cheap thing in the world?"
He has always been in charge of the Precepts Hall, and his temperament is quite violent, and he always goes straight to what he says.
Master Leyin nodded: "This little Taoist priest has a shallow Taoist practice... Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore, but what suggestions do you have for the moment?"
Leyuan said: "The Yin Si is ready to move, and it is already obvious. However, there is a difference between Yin and Yang, and it is not easy for those Yin ghosts to enter the world."
Leyin sighed: "I just worry that the military camp will change... Brother Leyuan, you have always been responsible for foreign affairs and have interacted with Yan Tongzhi and others. Have you ever reminded me?"
Leyuan hurriedly said, "I have said everything I can say, but how can Lord Yan and the others say it? They all have their own thoughts, but they can't just control it."
The Yan family has close contacts with Jinchan Temple, mainly to take their needs, but in some major matters, such as the affairs of the yamen, Jinchan Temple cannot get into it, and Yan Zhifeng does not allow it. Similarly, Yan Zhifeng will not interfere in the internal affairs of the temple.
Le Yin looked compassionate: "The people in the world have their own thoughts and have constant disputes. It's pitiful, and it's a pity!"
After a pause, he said, "Then you think there will be a blood sacrifice?"
All the monks looked at me and I looked at you, and finally they all looked at the fate. Those present were the ones who were most familiar with the situation in the city.
After thinking about it, Leyuan said, "This matter is important, and I dare not speak nonsense. However, according to observation, it is logical that the Tan family will not be in a rash manner..."
As he was speaking, a monk from the guest rushed over: "Abbot, I was observing on the tower and suddenly saw fires rising into the sky in the direction of the military camp, as if there were chaos in the war."
"What?"
I was shocked and lost my etiquette.
Leyuan hurriedly asked, "Do you think it's true?"
The monk from Zhike replied: "It's true. Although it's far apart, the fire is definitely not ordinary."
Leyuan stomped his feet: "It's broken, the soldiers are in chaos, and blood flows into a river, which is a blood sacrifice."
All the monks were moved and immediately understood what this meant.
Leju rose up: "With blood sacrifice, the gate of ghosts will open. We must plan as soon as possible to avoid being invaded by evil spirits. Leju, you should go and ask the Arhats for golden body, ask for gold powder, mix it into powder, and write the Diamond Sutra on the temple gate and walls. With this scripture, evil spirits cannot be approached. Remember, don't miss the place."
Lexing asked, "The place is so big, how can there be enough gold powder?"
Leyin sighed: "First write it in the main entrance, as well as the main hall, relics hall, etc.."
"Respect the abbot's order!"
The two monks knew that the matter was serious and immediately took the order to go out to do things.
Leyin said again: "Liaoming, you will lead several monks to comfort the residents of the temple and let them stay in the room tonight and not come out. In addition, Leqing will lead the monks to patrol and prepare for the patrols."
"yes."
Leming and Leqing stood up.
Because of the several consecutive instructions, it was orderly and very sober and calm.
At this time, Leyuan suddenly asked: "Abbot, the catastrophe is coming, but what should the people outside?"
Leyin looked at him: "What do you mean?"
After the fate of the law, he stood up and said together, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? I'm willing to leave the temple and do my best."
"Good!"
The monks recited the Tao in unison.
Leyin nodded: "Okay, then you go, be careful."
