Please remember the URL of this website: Tianlong Temple is located on a mountain ten miles away from the imperial city. The spiritual energy in the mountains is dense and auspicious. The mist falls on the top of the mountain. There are many Buddha lights twinkling and you can see them from a distance.
"This Tianlong Temple is a bit unusual." Qin Chen couldn't help but admire that he never felt the power of pious faith at such a long distance.
The power of faith in the form of monks makes Buddhism stronger and becomes a tangible light of Buddha that illuminates the ethereal and sacred world.
He is now sitting in a carriage heading towards the top of the mountain. Emperor Jiutian ordered him to go to Tianlong to visit the abbot and preside over it.
After all, as the Huguo Zen Master of the Zhan Kingdom, he should have more contact with the Huguo Zen Temple and will live in the temple for a long time in the future.
"Of course, this Tianlong Temple has existed since the founding of the Zhan Dynasty and has a long history. My father once also practiced in it as a lay disciple, and then he acquired excellent martial arts." Jiu Shuyi explained with piety in his eyes.
with reverence
This Tianlong Temple is the largest temple in their Zhan Kingdom. Its Buddhist teachings are the most orthodox. It is said that the Buddha once preached there. It has a long history. It existed before the founding of the Zhan Kingdom and has been standing on this mountain for an unknown number of years.
"You must be more humble when you go up the mountain. There are many eminent monks in Tianlong Temple who are profound in their Taoism. Don't offend easily." Jiu Shuyi sat next to Qin Chen and reminded him that Tianlong Temple is a quiet place for Buddhism. Most of the visitors are pious.
Even though she always liked to play around, she became serious at this time.
"Am I not an eminent monk?" Qin Chen was quite displeased to hear what she said, as if she didn't take him seriously [
Jiu Shuyi rolled her eyes and teased: "What do you think, a Taoist monk would spank a female donor?"
"You are just arrogant and I won't argue with you." Qin Chen was annoyed. Ever since he spanked Jiu Shuyi, she had used this matter to tease him from time to time.
"I know I'm wrong, right? Since I'm going up the mountain so soon, I have to be more modest and don't offend the eminent monks among them." Jiu Shuyi smiled happily and said, "I like to see Qin Chen's deflated look."
Qin Chen and Jiu Shuyi came to the top of the mountain together because he was going to live here permanently and Nangong Yiji was a woman and it was inconvenient to live in the temple, so Jiu Haotian found a place for Nangong Yiji in the palace for her to stay.
Similarly, because Jiu Haotian had to prepare for the gathering of heroes and needed to handle some large and small matters, he could not spare time to accompany Qin Chen, so only Jiu Shuyi accompanied him.
The Tournament of Heroes is a military competition held once every ten years among the seven nations. Each country sends its young talents to show off its military strength to the other six nations.
Through the gathering of heroes, we can see the rich heritage and strength of each country. Unfortunately, Zhan has been ranked at the bottom in recent years. This time, it will be difficult for the heroes to stand out.
As the name suggests, the Heroes' Meeting is a gathering of heroes from all over the world to discuss heroes through martial arts. The winner is often respected by the other six nations.
Now that the conference is approaching, Jiuhaotian has to select talents to participate in this meeting of heroes to win glory for the country.
This is a mountain forest with misty morning mist, vast waves of smoke, the chirping of sparrows, the singing of birds, the fragrance of flowers, and Qin Chen walked up to the mountain gate. There was a coolness in the breeze that was refreshing.
The two of them walked to the top of the mountain and saw a huge crowd of more than a hundred people. They were all monks wearing monk robes and looking peaceful to greet them.
"The princess arrived and the poor monk was far away to greet her." An old man in cassock came forward to say something. He must be the abbot of Tianlong Temple.
As expected, Jiu Shuyi responded politely and said, "The abbot's words are serious. It's actually because Jiuyinlai was in a hurry and didn't have time to inform the abbot. I hope the abbot won't blame him."
After some polite remarks, Jiu Shuyi introduced Qin Chen and said: "Master Abbot, this person is our Zen Master Qin Chen who protects the country. Now I have come to live in Tianlong Temple in accordance with the order of my father."
"He is the Zen Master who protects the country"[
All the monks immediately looked at each other in amazement. Qin Chen looked like he was only ten years old and had little knowledge. How could he serve as a Zen master to protect the country?
"How is it possible that Zen Master Hu Guo can convince the public at such a young age?" They all found it unbelievable that Qin Chen was actually Zen Master Hu Guo. Such a young Zen Master Hu Guo was rare in this world.
Everyone showed their disdain for Zen Master Huguo, who was so young and insignificant and had difficulty convincing the crowd. They were not optimistic about Qin Chen.
The abbot was also astonished and looked at Qin Chen up and down with a twinkling look in his eyes. Fortunately, he was so profound in Buddhism that he didn't notice any abnormality and bowed to Qin Chen.
He knelt down and knelt down to Qin Chen. This etiquette was even enjoyed by Jiu Shu Yidu. However, Qin Chen was the Zen Master who protected the country and was the highest-ranking monk in the Zhan Kingdom. Ordinary monks must kneel down and kowtow when they see him.
"Abbot Wu Ming of Tianlong Temple came to see Master Qin Chen." The abbot was not dissatisfied at all. At his level, he had already cut through all illusions and given up all emotions and six desires.
Qin Chen is not a person who does not know etiquette. The other party treated him like this. He naturally wanted to treat him with courtesy and hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Abbott, you need to be like this. Buddha once said that thousands of living beings are the same and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. You and I are both monks, so why should we follow the etiquette of the world?" bound"
"Besides, if a poor monk is profound in discussing Buddhism, he may not be as good as the abbot. Calling me master is really embarrassing to me." Qin Chen was ashamed. He wanted to say that he was just lucky, so he was named the Zen Master of the Protector of the Country by the current saint.
However, there is no way to tell the whole story before you say it, because saying so would be tantamount to questioning the Nine Heavens Emperor's vision and humiliating the king.
It is such a serious matter to canonize the Zen Master to protect the country. If Qin Chen said that he was just lucky enough to be canonized, then others would definitely say that Emperor Jiutian is a foolish king.
Qin Chen secretly complained that he couldn't be humble even if he wanted to be humble this time. However, he was really a little scared to receive the worship of this truly enlightened monk in front of him.
Not only is this Wuming's cultivation far superior to him, but his Dharma is profound and he is disgusted with joy and anger. Even if he knelt down to a yellow-haired boy like him, he remained calm. Such behavior can be regarded as a truly enlightened monk.
"The task that has been sent to me has been completed. I hope the abbot will worry about it in the future." Jiu Shuyi resigned and left Qin Chen in the mountain.
"Master Qin Chen, please come with the poor monk. The poor monk will take you to your residence." Wu Ming bowed to Qin Chen and walked to the other side.
Qin Chen hurriedly followed and said at the same time: "Master Abbot needs such a poor monk, you can call him Kongjue."
He really didn't dare to claim to be a master in front of Wu Ming. He was not as good as Wu Ming in terms of Taoism and cultivation. He just surpassed him with a title. There was nothing to be proud of.
"He does have some self-awareness." A monk onlookers sneered.
"He dares to call himself a master in front of the abbot, and he doesn't even weigh his weight." Someone immediately ridiculed him.
"You heard wrong. He doesn't dare to call himself master now because he knows he is not as good as our abbot and feels guilty."
All the monks, you are teasing and ridiculing me with every word you say. You don't take Qin Chen, the Zen Master who protects the country, seriously, and you humiliate me at will.
Qin Chen frowned slightly. Although there was an eminent monk like Wu Ming sitting in Tianlong Temple, his disciples seemed ordinary.
But he didn't think there was any difference. Even monks in sacred temples like Mount Sumeru often had disputes between them, let alone this Tianlong Temple.
The true meaning of becoming a monk is not to be empty of all four elements, but how many people can really achieve this?
"Are you still talking nonsense? You all stand up for me?" Wu Ming scolded angrily and glared at the disciples.
"yes"
The monks immediately left with bitter expressions and dejection. They wanted to flatter Wu Ming, but he didn't want to do that. Instead, he was angry and punished them. This time, the flattery was on the horse's hooves.
"Master Kongjue, don't blame it. It's really the poor monk's discipline." Wu Ming and Qin Chen apologized, but still maintained the humility and courtesy that a monk should have.
Qin Chen scolded him and replied: "Master Amitabha Wuming's words are serious and his words are too harsh on others. What qualifications does a poor monk have to criticize?"
Hearing this, Wu Ming was slightly startled and then nodded in approval. He could not see that Qin Chen was so savvy at such a young age, which surprised him.
When he walked to a place called Zhenwu Hall, Qin Chen suddenly saw eight statues of gods with different expressions, different appearances, and different postures standing in the Zhenwu Hall.
Qin Chen was surprised and asked: "Master Wu Ming, these eight statues"
"These are the eight common protector gods in my Buddhism. They are the eight tribes and the eight heavenly dragons." Wu Ming felt a little strange that as a monk, he didn't know the eight heavenly dragons, but he still answered out of politeness.
"It really is the Eight Heavenly Dragons." Qin Chen secretly thought that in his world, the Eight Heavenly Dragons were Buddhist gods. He was a little surprised to see them again in this world.
"I hope Master Wu Ming can tell me about the origin and history of these eight heavenly dragons." Qin Chen humbly asked for advice, eager to find out what these eight heavenly dragons were and how they were different from the eight heavenly dragons in his world.
"The eight heavenly dragons of Amitabha are: one day, two dragons, three yakshas, four gandharvas, five asuras, six garudas, seven kinnaras, and eight mahurakas," Wu Ming explained.
: "It is said that these eight tribes are eight different living beings that exist in the vast universe. They all have great supernatural powers, but they caused trouble for one of them. Later, they were enlightened by the Buddha and accepted as his disciples. They converted to Buddhism and became the eight true protectors of Buddhism."
"Buddha's disciple" Qin Chen was puzzled. This was inconsistent with the legends of his world.
"I wonder if the eight of them were alive in this world?" Qin Chen asked again
It was a little strange for Wu Ming to look at Qin Chen for a long time before saying: "Master Kongjue joked that the Eight Heavenly Dragons have traveled with the Buddha to foreign lands to save the people and are not in Moyun Star."
Qin Chen scratched his head and murmured: "It's weird, it's weird that such weird things happen. It's really a coincidence."
He has heard legends about Buddha in three worlds, and most of them are different. For example, in modern times and Moyun Star, there are Buddha and the Eight Heavenly Dragons but not Sun Wukong; but in the wilderness, there are Sun Wukong and Buddha, but there is no such thing.
Combined with the Eight Heavenly Dragons
What the hell is going on? Why do modern people know that the existence of Babu Tianlong is not just a myth?
