Chapter 1493: Is this the Buddha’s blessing or the Buddha’s test?
“Boom!…Woo!…Buzz!!”
The North Sea is so vast that sailing day and night is like measuring a hair on the Dharma image of the Buddha standing in the sky. The penetrating and distant sound of the Dharma conch sounds from time to time among the rooftop fleet, directing the forward movement.
The boat moves through neat and orderly arcs, as agile as a living creature.
When the sound of the blowing was introduced into the solid cabin of the "Fahua Pill", Master Juehui, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, had his eyelids lowered and was suddenly unaware. He had fallen into trance amidst the ups and downs of the waves and the most restless voyage.
Like the instinctive sound of chanting, it was buzzing in the small cabin, just like it was coming from the master's forehead. This is exactly "the white umbrella-covered dharani on the top of the big Buddha", which is also the daily practice in Chinese Buddhism
The longest curse
, "Shrangama Mantra". Even a monk who is best at chanting sutras would have to spend half a quarter of an hour reciting the four hundred and twenty-seven lines of the mantra. And according to the rules of spiritual practice, if you recite it hundreds of times a day, that one
The day's work has passed.
"Woooo!!"
"Tap..."
The rapid sound of the conch suddenly sounded outside the cabin. Then, the ship, which was moving at a steady speed, began to slow down suddenly until it stopped completely. The official Shiba Zhenwei hurriedly came down from the deck and saw the Master reciting.
Reciting the "Shrangama Mantra" which "breaks evil, subdues demonic obstacles, protects the righteous Dharma, and increases wisdom", his feet suddenly stopped and he opened his mouth hesitantly.
"Senghui Hui is right?..."
“?…”
Master Juehui stopped chanting sutras and suddenly opened his compassionate eyes. He looked at Si Bofangguan, who had a complicated face and a strange expression. With just one glance, he could see that the other party was uneasy and unexplainably excited.
"Official Sibobo! Why are you so emotionally ups and downs, fearful and longing? Since you want to join our sect, you need to surrender your mind. No eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body or mind, no color, sound, fragrance or touch. The horror you see does not exist, and the desire you see does not exist.
exist…"
"Huh? No! Why did the ship stop? Calculating the distance, we should have just arrived at the mouth of the river where gold was traded before, right?...The Shantarians' current fleet position, based on the damaged merchant ship, should be one day to the east.
The distance is so long that we should bump into each other tomorrow or the day after tomorrow..."
Official Sibo pursed his lips and waited patiently for Master Juehui to finish his "teachings". It wasn't until the other party raised a question that he bowed respectfully and pointed to the deck above his head.
"Seng Zheng, you are right! We have arrived at the mouth of the river where gold was traded before... However, the situation of the Shantao fleet is completely different from what we have seen before, and it is also different from all previous plans!..."
“…!”
Master Juehui stood up suddenly and walked directly to the deck without saying a word. The open sea of Ezo spread out from the ladder above his head into an endless picture in front of him. The dark waves lapped at the rugged and deep green bay.
The mountain-like camp was just like last time, standing quietly in the deepest part of the bay, like a stain that desecrated the Buddhist kingdom. And the most surprising thing, what made him unbelievable was...
"One, two, three, four, five, six! The six Shantar ships, including the one we traded with, are all still docked in the bay just like last time?!..."
"No! There are obviously a lot less people in the Shantar people's camp, and you can't see so much piled goods. Damn it! They didn't board the ship and take the waterway, and they didn't use the fleet to transport goods and gold?! They stopped the ship
What are you doing here? If you don’t go back, will you spend the winter in Ezo?…”
Seeing the Shantao fleet at the bay camp, Master Juehui's expression suddenly changed, and his originally profound Buddhist teachings instantly broke through his defenses.
If the Shantar people don't get on the boat, there will be no naval battle! He made so many arrangements before and after, personally observed the Shantar navy, deliberately sent the boat, and calculated the time to pursue and ambush, looking for
The gold-hiding camp...is all empty now!
The Shantar demons who really deserve to go to the Hell of Oil should return the gold that does not belong to them and the gold that belongs to the Buddha! Where is the gold, the gold of the Buddha? Is it still on those ships? Or, in the lair of the Shantar people,
I don’t know where the gold hiding camp is?
"Lord Sengzheng! Take a look at the boats of the Shantar people! They dragged the boats to the shore and turned them into defensive camps and small fortresses! They seem to have received the news in advance and were on guard?..."
"Um?!"
Hearing this, Master Juehui trembled all over, widened his compassionate yet ferocious eyebrows, and looked at the fleet of Shantar people. He saw only six large ships, all of which were dragged to the shoal on the shore during the high tide.
, placed sideways and outward, like a wooden wall facing the bay.
On each large ship, on the "wall" facing the bay, a piece of rough and strong arrow-proof wood was erected, as well as an obviously processed shield. There seemed to be dark things piled on the bottom of the wood and shield.
, it is likely to be fire prevention and fire-fighting soil. This
After many improvements, the originally low and narrow galley-sailed longship suddenly transformed from an ancient ship that was weak in water battles to a civil "ship fortress" for defense on land. After coming to land from the sea, such mountains
The Tartar fleet has become an existence that cannot be sunk, let alone captured...
"Woo! Woo!..."
Seeing the ten warships that suddenly appeared on the shore, the Shantao camp on the seaside immediately exploded. Two to three hundred Shantao warriors wearing armor and holding bows quickly ran out of the camp. Most of them boarded the "ship barrier".
A small part extends to the two coasts further forward, looking warily towards the sea.
Only then did Master Juehui notice that there were some wooden rafts built to protect against arrows on the shores that were close to each other. Their shapes were very similar to the archery sheds that were commonly seen in martial arts battles. It was even possible that these styles were inexplicably familiar.
Boat ramparts and arrow sheds
, it was the "builder" who was sold to the Shantao tribe in this gold transaction who helped plan and build it. Maybe those rough-processed arrow-proof wood was also sold to the "pointer carpenter", hurry up
Cut sheets.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Damn it! Damn it! Who leaked the news and made the Shantar people take such precautions?!... Morino Kiyoshi? This traitor of the sect dared to leak it
Our sect’s intelligence is used to destroy the master plan of the monks?!… No, it’s not like that. He doesn’t seem like someone who would leave such a big deal and leave no way out. That’s… the Oyizaki clan? Damn it! These despicable samurai families
!…”
Master Juehui's face was as dark as water, and the smiling face of Morino Qing appeared in his mind, which turned into the patient and respectful flattery of the Oyezaki family. He knew clearly that this time the "gold-winning plan" might have been completely ruined.
. Our family has been preparing for a long time, but the most advantageous naval battle cannot be used. The Shanta fleet is parked here, and it is impossible to track and find their golden camp. Since there is no gold, what the hell... wait! That is
?What’s the reflection behind the ship barrier?!
"Lord Sengzheng! Look behind the boat rampart! In the center of the Shantar people's camp, that newly erected golden totem pole!..."
"Ah! That's it!!..."
Master Juehui took a deep breath and exhaled deeply, but an unspeakable heat still burned from the bottom of his heart, burning until his eyes reflected the golden light. He finally knew that Sibo Fangguan's excited desire,
Where did it come from? Behind the "simple and weird" boat rampart of the Shantaar people, there was actually a golden totem pole than when we came three days ago. No, no, there was a big tree there!
But now, a very worn-out "eagle flag" hangs on the highest point of the big tree. And the eagle flag is like a devout offering somewhere, and every branch and branch is hung with golden light.
The moving talisman is exactly the golden talisman that Shantao took out during the transaction! At this moment, under the morning sunshine
, the dazzling golden light flashed from the golden treetops to the golden tree bottom, turning into a golden treasure tree, shocking the hearts of everyone on the ship. The number of those golden talismans was hundreds, hundreds of kilograms,
I'm afraid it's even more dazzling than all the gold exchanged for this long-distance trade!
"Lord Sengzheng! The fleet does not need to find the Shantar people's gold-hidden camp, nor does it need to look for their gold fleet! ... All their gold caches, hundreds of thousands of kilograms of gold, are probably all here, right here!
"
"Buddha's blessing! This must be some kind of sacrificial ceremony for them, to worship the ancestors and gods, and then they took out all the gold!... Look at that military flag, I have an impression in the Sibo family's inheritance, it seems to be Yuan Kou
The military flag! Yes, it’s the eagle flag of Yuan Kou!…”
Facing the shocking "Golden Tree" and the "Yuan Kou Gold" right in front of him, even the usually taciturn official Sibofang couldn't bear to speak with excitement. If such a large sum of gold could be bought by him,
It is not unimaginable that the Echizen Shiba clan can defeat the usurping Asakura clan, allow the young master Shiba Rongtong to revive the family, and once again inherit the official position of Echizen guardian!
"O Buddha! The Shantar people's gold-hiding camp appears before you without having to look for it. And the big tree with gold hanging on it is just like the Seven Treasures Tree in the Western Paradise in the Amitabha Sutra. It is so bright,
So majestic and extraordinary!…”
"Namo's great wisdom Manjushri! Is this the Buddha's blessing or a test from the Buddha? The golden Seven Treasure Tree is destined to my Juhui. Should it belong to my sect?..."
At this moment, Master Juehui was trembling all over, with golden eyes open, standing motionless on the bow of the ship. Behind him were the sect's five hundred monk soldiers. In front of him, there were three hundred Shan Tao warriors stationed there.
's campsite.
And as long as they get past the ridiculous obstacles of "vulnerable" and "mere ship barriers", and defeat those Shantao defenders who are obviously very small in number and have no advantage...those hundreds of kilograms of gold talismans are equivalent to the entire Tiantai Sect's twenty
Years of savings are at his fingertips! They hang on the golden "Seven Treasures Tree", waiting for him to pick them. And these golden fruits, as long as he makes a profit in the tribute trade, can be eaten by the monks for hundreds of years!
What a blessing from the Buddha! In this case, how should he choose this golden treasure tree's bet on Buddha's fate?
