Chapter 197: Flooded Golden Mountain and White Snake Regret
Outside Jinshan Temple, the temple door was closed, and there was not a single pilgrim in sight. There was only a monk with firm eyes, wearing cassocks and holding a golden bowl of Zen staff, looking ahead without saying a word.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing walked hand in hand. One was green and the other was white. They were both extremely beautiful women in the world. However, in Fahai's eyes, there were only two snake monsters arrogant in front of him.
Xiaoqing stepped forward and shouted: "Fahai! Why do you go against us two sisters so many times?"
"Human? Haha." Fahai said with a smile: "As monsters, how dare you call yourself human?"
"I, Bai Suzhen, have practiced cultivation for thousands of years, reborn and transformed into a human body. How come I am no longer a human being?" Bai Suzhen sneered and glanced at the monks behind Fa Hai, "I ask myself, I am more human than these people behind you."
The hearts of the monks in Jinshan Temple trembled. These two snake demons were great demons who had practiced transformation for thousands of years. They were not stupid, and they knew that they were not considered cannon fodder in front of others.
Fahai felt a pain in his heart when he heard this. How could he not know the dirty deeds of these disciples? But the inheritance of Jinshan Temple and the faith of Buddhism cannot be broken. He shouted: "Monster! Don't talk nonsense! Relying on the profound magic power of cultivation, Ling
The gods of the weak city disrupt the order of the world, and the union of humans and monsters is unacceptable in heaven and earth!
I, Fahai, have been practicing for hundreds of years and have subdued and eliminated countless demons. Today I am going to get rid of you two demons!"
After the words fell, he raised the golden bowl in his hand. The staff collided with the golden bowl and made a symphony of golden and sword sounds. Xiaoqing's face turned pale and he stepped back. He whispered: "Sister, this monk's golden bowl."
It's very powerful, I'm afraid it's a magic weapon with five levels of magic prohibition in Huangpin! Last time, my body was covered by this golden bowl, and I was almost forced out of my original shape by him."
Bai Suzhen nodded, took a step forward, and displayed a sword with both hands. The sword flew into the sky and turned into thousands of sword shadows, rushing away like a river of swords.
Fahai raised the golden bowl in his hand, and when he shined it in the air, the sword shadows all over the sky were frozen by the mysterious golden light. He then raised his staff and threw it away from the air to hit the two demons.
Seeing this, Xiao Qing hurriedly picked up the sword flower. The sword shadow was divided into nine, and the nine green shadows hit the Zen staff.
With a "clang" sound, the nine sword shadows shattered, and the staff also flew back.
Xiaoqing was just entering the realm of transformation, and her ability to shape her body into a snake was shallow. Fahai was already approaching the level of profound meditation, so he would naturally have the upper hand.
Bai Suzhen stretched out her hand, and two water sleeves as white as the bright moon were displayed. They were as dexterous and flexible as snakes and humans, and they were wrapped around Fa Hai.
Xiao Qing also flicked his sleeves and transformed into two long cyan sleeves. He quickly went away and turned into a cyan sky that condensed on Fahai's head.
Fahai snorted coldly and hammered the ground with his staff. Instantly, the Jinshan Temple behind him lit up with a magnificent Buddha light, knocking back the blue and white cloud sleeves of the two demons, forcing them to retreat.
"In the pure land of Buddhism, you dare to use the Dharma to show off your power? My golden light seduces the earth's veins, combines with the incense clouds for thousands of years, eminent monks pray, and the six-character mantra seal is used as the eye of the formation. I have great power to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
How can it be possible that you two demons can break this great power with your magic power?
Xiao Qing looked at the temple with golden light on the top of the mountain with some fear, and said: "Sister, this formation is so overbearing, I'm afraid we can't break it with our magic power."
Bai Suzhen's eyes darkened slightly and she said, "I have to try again."
She turned around, protected her body with a realgar sword, and threw beans in the air to form an army. Ninety-nine and eighty-one Taoist soldiers stood in front of the Jinshan Temple, forming a formation and entering.
At the same time, Bai Suzhen pressed the magic formula, and in a flash, she turned into a wisp of breeze and rushed into the temple without fear of the golden light of Buddhism.
Fahai's expression changed and he shouted, "What a monster! Don't even step foot into Jinshan Temple!"
Let's talk. He took off the Buddhist beads from his neck and waved them in the air. The beads scattered and turned into eighteen golden-armored heavenly soldiers who stopped eighty-one Taoist soldiers. Then he threw up his cassock and shouted: "Daluo Fatian!
"
Suddenly golden light appeared, and the cassock turned into a golden screen and blocked Bai Suzhen.
Seeing this, Xiao Qing became a little anxious. He quickly put his hands in front of his forehead, green light flashed, gathered in front of him, and shouted: "Come!"
Suddenly, a group of foxes, rats, snakes, hedgehogs, and other little monsters appeared, and a large group of black demons transformed into Taoist soldiers and rushed up the mountain with murderous intent.
Xiao Qing said coldly: "If you rely on the geographical formation, I will consume you to death today!"
Fahai's face looked grim, and he could only focus on raising the golden bowl to shine. Suddenly, the Taoist soldiers who were covered twitched all over, and they took on the shape of monsters. Fortunately, there were so many that he couldn't deal with them in time.
Bai Suzhen on the sky curtain saw that he was distracted and once again used his magic power to cut through the cassock, causing Fa Hai to be anxious and focused on dealing with Bai Suzhen again.
Seeing that he was about to be defeated, he suddenly heard a Buddha's call coming from the north.
"Amitabha! You are so bold and evil, you dare to attack the pure land of Buddhism. You will not be allowed to live today!"
A kind-hearted old monk came over, waved his hands in a seal, and a huge golden Buddha seal hit Bai Suzhen.
Bai Suzhen's expression changed, she opened her mouth and spat out a beam of moonlight, shattering the Buddha's seal, and said coldly: "Zen Master Jinming Temple? Why are you intervening in the grudge between our two sisters and Fahai?"
The monk smiled and said: "The nine temples of the Jin Kingdom are one. Not only the poor monk, but also the abbots of other temples are on their way. You two snake monsters are causing chaos in the world. I'm afraid you won't be able to escape today!"
After Qingbai heard this, the two snakes' expressions became gloomy. At this time, two more Buddha lights were seen rising in the west, but they were the abbots of Hualin Temple and Kaiyuan Temple.
The two monks announced the Buddha's name, stood in the west and stood motionless like a mountain, and said from a high position: "The two green and white snakes, please hurry up and capture them!"
Bai Suzhen glanced at the monks coldly. Their eyes were filled with greed, and even their dignified cassocks and Zen staffs could not hide their unworthy true nature.
"Xiaoqing, let's take action."
"Okay, sister, I can't bear it anymore!"
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing suddenly transformed into two hundred-foot giant pythons. For a moment, strong winds arose, dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, and the water of the Xijiang River below instantly surged and swept across the sky. There was a heavy downpour and violent winds.
Following the water of the Xijiang River, it rushed towards Jinshan Temple at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The expressions of all the monks changed greatly, and Fa Hai shouted: "Bai Suzhen! Stop it immediately, you dare to flood the golden mountain with magic, and the lives of all the people in the world cannot be compared with your husband?"
In the violent storm, Bai Suzhen's voice came, "Then the lives of the common people at dawn can't force you to hand over Wu Qi? In order to eliminate demons, you harmed all the people in the world. The mortals you saved in your lifetime by conquering demons are not worth the amount you saved today because of you."
I am a mortal who dies!"
"You! You evil beast!" Fahai was furious. He raised his cassock and turned into a sky curtain to block the monstrous flood. Several other Zen masters came to help resist the flood and prevent Jinshan Temple from being submerged.
The water of the Xijiang River set off huge waves, hitting Jinshan Temple one after another. Four more Zen masters came from the east, and eight abbots came from the nine temples in the Jin Kingdom. Each of them was the only one with the highest cultivation level in the temple.
One middle-level monk and eight Zen masters can naturally protect the Jinshan Temple alone.
It rained heavily for three days and three nights, and the water of the Xijiang River surged for three days and three nights. The floods submerged most of Jinshan Temple, but they still could not break the barrier created by the eight Zen masters.
The houses of the people at the foot of the mountain were all washed away, and some people were washed away in the flood. However, they saw foxes, hedgehogs, mice, etc. walking through the water to save the people. I even saw a Taoist priest grabbing a handful of willow leaves and throwing them away.
Mortals who were turned into small boats and washed into the water were saved one after another and knelt down to thank the gods for their manifestation.
Naturally, some people died, but most of them were evil people who relied on Buddhist disciples to oppress the people. Buddhism was the state religion of the Jin Kingdom. The Jiuda Temple owned countless fields and rented them to the people for farming, but the rent was charged 70 to 80%, and even everyone was currying favor.
The monk's stewardship is further exploited, and it is difficult to survive in good times, but in famine years only the family is destroyed, and the monks have to donate money to build golden bodies for the Buddhas and famous monks to protect the good weather in the coming year.
Some of the people were indifferent, and some stood up to resist, but the methods of the warrior monks and immortal monks could easily disintegrate their armies, and a single Buddhist teaching could confuse the minds of the people. Therefore, for thousands of years, the Kingdom of Jin was still the Kingdom of Jin, but that
Under the golden Buddhas in the magnificent temples are piles of white bones.
To this day, when the monstrous flood from the Xijiang River comes, the nine Buddhist temples have protected Jinshan Temple, but they can no longer protect Sunan Mansion.
After three days and three nights, the heavy rain stopped, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived, the Xijiang River ebbed, and the two snakes were exhausted.
In the mountain forest where the floods receded, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing lay helplessly on the ground. The dazzling poisonous sun baked them, and they could only lie helplessly in the mud, bearing the Dragon Boat Festival punishment.
The abbot of Kaiyuan Temple said coldly: "Bai Suzhen, you rely on evil methods to cause harm to the world. You can no longer escape today. We will put you to death to apologize to the people of the world!"
After that, a thick demon-subduing pestle fell from the sky, about to shock the two demons to death, but suddenly a white light appeared in the west and stopped the demon-subduing pestle, and an old voice sounded.
"Senior monks, show mercy!"
The abbot of Kaiyuan Temple was startled, his expression changed slightly when he saw the person coming, and he said with a smile: "It turns out to be Senior Immortal Hua Xue."
The old Taoist Huaxue shook his head with a smile, "Several eminent monks, these two demons have some connection with me, and have a close relationship with the old Taoist. Moreover, these two demons walk the world, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and their crimes will not lead to death."
"Senior, are you showing kindness?" the abbot of Kaiyuan Temple's smile faded, "But the people of our Sunan Prefecture, Liming, were caused by these two monsters to cause floods in the Xijiang River. The floods were raging and countless people died. Such a sin cannot be forgiven!
"
Old Taoist Huaxue narrowed his eyes, "So, you guys don't agree?"
"Amitabha!" A loud Buddhist chant sounded, and a sacred monk with a solemn appearance came from afar, "Donor, don't be anxious!"
The old Taoist Huaxue bowed his hands and said, "But he is the abbot of Luojia Temple. I am disrespectful to you."
The abbot of Luojia Temple clasped his hands together, and several abbots behind him saluted him one after another, "Donor, since these two green and white snake monsters have a close relationship with you, then naturally they have to go online for the benefactor's sake, which is only a death penalty.
You can avoid it, but you can’t escape the crime!”
Huaxue Lao Dao nodded, "This means my relationship with them is over."
The abbot of Luojia Temple turned to look at the two demons and said: "Bai Suzhen, you married a mortal privately and caused trouble in the world. You have no intention of repenting and now the water has flooded the golden mountain, causing the displacement of all the people in this mansion.
The crime should not be punishable, but because you have done good things in the world and have merit, I will give you a chance to repent.
Now, you will be suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda, and you will never come out. The green lanterns and ancient Buddhas in the pagoda will accompany you to pay for your sins. Only when the water in the West Lake dries up and the Leifeng Pagoda collapses, will you be able to see the light of day again.
As for the green snake demon, I will suppress it under the West Lake and never come out again!"
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the Leifeng Pagoda. The Buddha's light shrouded the sky and restrained Bai Suzhen, pressing him under the Leifeng Pagoda.
He stretched out his hand again, and the water in the West Lake opened. Xiaoqing was restrained under it and could not get out.
After doing this, he smiled at Old Taoist Huaxue and said, "Is the donor satisfied?"
Master Huaxue nodded, "Thank you, Abbot!"
The Huayu Sect established its sect in Yan State, which is adjacent to Jin State. As the abbot of the neighbor, it still has to give some face.
The monks put their hands together and returned to the temple.
The divine light dissipated on the sky, and the people of Sunan Mansion thanked the people of the Liu Sect for their kindness and kindness. The previous beasts in the water saved people, and the immortals fell into the boat, all of which allowed them to see the magical power of the Liu Sect immortals.
at.
The legend about Bai Suzhen has also been handed down and is very widespread.
Wu Qi vomited blood and painted under the Leifeng Pagoda, leaving behind a painting of a golden mountain at sunset and then passed away. He never saw his wife until his death.
The Liu cult was accepted by the people of Sunan Prefecture and regarded as gods. They also heard that Bai Suzhen asked Emperor Nanhua to save them from the flood. They were also moved by such a poignant legend. For a while, Jinshan Temple was deserted.
The Liu sect sent divine envoys to abolish the officials in the city, and came from Buddha to Liu to govern Sunan Mansion. They refused to admit monks into the city, equalized land rights, divided the fields and opened up wasteland, and won the support of the people.
Hu Twelve Lang was stationed in the city of Sunan Prefecture. Fa Hai had inner demons due to the battle of Jinshan Flooding, and he has not been able to escape from the world since then. Sunan Prefecture became the first stop for Liu Jiao to enter the Kingdom of Jin.
Since then, the people of the Jin Kingdom have heard about the legend of the White Snake, and have deepened their impression and understanding of the Liu Sect, because in popular folk stories, Bai Suzhen is a spiritual snake who came from Mount Nanhua under the throne of Emperor Nanhua to practice Taoism and come to the world.
Bao En and Wu Qi got married, but unexpectedly they were separated by the incomprehensible Buddhism and were suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda. He could not come out until the water in the West Lake dried up and the Leifeng Pagoda collapsed.
Wu Qi spent his whole life working hard to finally create the Sunset Golden Mountain painting, which has been widely circulated in the world. Legend has it that he died of lovesickness.
Hu Twelve Lang sat in the teahouse and listened to the story of the White Snake told by the storyteller again. He smiled softly. This tragic love story between a human and a demon was led by the emperor. It was not to increase the dissatisfaction of the people of the Jin Kingdom with Buddhism.
After all, the people of the Jin Kingdom have long been dissatisfied with Buddhism, but it is useless. The purpose of this story is to let the people know that there is an immortal named Nanhua Emperor of Nanhua Mountain, and let them know that demons are not as scary as the legends say, and what kind of sect the Liu Sect is.
The people of the Kingdom of Jin pinned their yearning for beauty on Liu Jiao and the two green and white snakes.
As for Wu Qi, his death is also destined. His ancestors died after making a swan song thousands of years ago, and history will repeat itself today thousands of years later.
Naturally, the Buddhists in the Kingdom of Jin would not prohibit the spread of this story, because they emphasize the profoundness of Buddhism. Let Bai Suzhen make trouble, but in the end you will convert to Buddhism?
Buddhism in the Kingdom of Jin mainly comes from the inheritance of Tianlong Temple among the four Buddhist temples. The three sects and four temples of Taoism and Buddhism are the top forces in the Tianyuan world. This is why the emperor did not forcefully promote the Western spread of Liu Jiao. Otherwise, he would rely on the Nine Temples
A worthy abbot and several middle-level Zen masters have long been unable to stop the Liu Sect's westward advance.
After thinking about this, Hu Twelve stood up, left a piece of silver on the table, turned around and left the teahouse. The story of the White Snake has been circulating for sixteen years, and it is time to take the next step!
