In the Black Stone Cave, Wuding Dao Zhuo Ji Laodao had already explained clearly to Su Jing the matters in the temple:
Three days ago, the Feitian Mountain Gate of the ancient temple opened, and a large group of sea monsters and cultivators swarmed in.
There were monks waiting in the ancient temple for a long time. They smiled cordially and had a humble attitude. After greetings, they swung their clouds to carry everyone around and looked around the ancient temple. This temple is so grand and amazing that during the flight, I only saw the first few halls.
, several courtyards, it took a whole day.
During this time, Zhike pointed out the scenery to everyone, and people often asked them questions. Most of the Zhike monks answered patiently, but when it came to important matters, they smiled and shook their heads and remained silent.
Taoist priest Zhuo Ji remembers clearly that someone once asked "why the ancient temple has been hidden in the sea for many years", and Zhike responded: It was first built by the Qing Dynasty, but later by Xiaoxiao. After many years of delay, it was finally able to survive. Speaking of this, Zhike
He put his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, and let others ask him about the specific reasons and who Xiaoxiao was, but he would not answer any more.
One day after the visit, a senior monk in the temple delivered a message from the abbot: The abbot and the heads of the Motian temples welcomed the visiting guests in the lecture hall. In addition, the abbot also gave a five-day sermon to the ancient temple to see the light of day again.
The five-day sermon is divided into two sessions. The first session lasts three days, but not everyone can listen, and those with shallow practices are politely excluded. The second session lasts two days, but everyone can listen.
The name of Motian Temple is too loud, and it suddenly returns to the sky after being in the dark for countless years. The abbot welcomes visitors and preaches sermons in the church. Everyone wants to listen to it at the right time.
Even for Taoist or secular monks, listening to the sermons of true Buddhist masters can only be beneficial and not harmful.
What's more, the monks of Motian Temple made it clear that after the death, there will still be 108 unsullied rosary beads that have been enshrined in front of the Buddha for a long time, and they can be given to the predestined people.
Who among Motiansha’s treasures can’t be greedy? Su Jing asked himself, if he didn’t know the cause and effect, he would still stay and try his luck, just in case he was the ‘destined one’.
There were thousands of sea monsters in front of Su Jing. The cultivators were all ordinary people. They were not qualified to listen to the first session. They gathered near the mountain gate and waited for the second session. As for the Lishan disciples and other masters of various sects who entered the temple,
All the ferocious monsters in the Western Sea were invited to the lecture hall to listen to the Dharma.
Su Jing was naturally anxious when someone close to him was in danger, but there was no point in being anxious. 'Shatianmo' was similar in size to Motiansha. It was so big that it was unimaginable. He didn't even know where the 'Lecture Hall' was, so he couldn't mess with it.
If they were running around and bumping into each other, it would be better to just fight them one by one by the mountain gate.
After beating the younger ones, the older ones came forward. Sure enough, when Fierce Bodhisattva appeared, the 'Abbott' also came over.
Ji Bo's "Wish True" heard the voice, stopped there, turned around and put his palms together in the direction of the back hall, and responded loudly: "I will obey the abbot's decree." After saying that, when he turned to look at Su Jing, all the hostility on his face was gone.
He disappeared and turned into a kind smile: "Two mages, please come with me."
Su Jing was secretly happy in his heart, but he would not forget that he was now an 'old demon in the depths of the Western Sea'. Side by side with Xiao Xiangliu, he stepped onto the Fierce Bodhisattva Cloud Drive. At the same time, he was still looking for trouble with the ancient temple: "
The eminent monk **, explains the scriptures and meanings, and opens up the sight and hearing of all sentient beings and adds wisdom, which is a great merit! In the early years, when the Buddha and Bodhisattva preached the sermons, there was no distinction between teachings, and all living beings could come to listen. Even mice and bugs could come to listen. The rules of the sky temple are
If it is bigger, the listeners will be divided into three, six or nine grades first, and those who are not qualified will not be allowed to listen. The old abbot of Motian Temple is really great, and he is even more particular than the Buddha."
The voice of the 'abbot' came, very patiently: "Our temple has already explained this matter. First, the scripture hall is cramped and cannot accommodate so many people..."
'An old demon in the depths of the Western Sea' is here to cause trouble. He can't even explain the truth: "The West Heaven Lingtai is countless worlds away from the human world. The Buddha spared no effort to spread the scriptures and preach the Dharma, but you use a wall to block the people who come to the Buddha."
Block it out? Don’t you blush when you say this yourself? If the space is not big enough, just tear down the wall."
In the distance, the 'abbot' laughed: "The cramped place is just one of the reasons. There is another reason: in the first hall of the old monk, there will be a surge of profound energy during sexual intercourse. If you don't practice well, it will be difficult to resist, and you will suffer from it.
Harmful."
"The surge of mysterious power is difficult to resist?" Su Jing also laughed, and the laughter was loud: "What about you or subduing demons? Are you talking about using magical powers? Abbot, are you really my disciple of Buddha? Will you still be with me?
You lie to me that I don’t understand Buddhism? Explain the scriptures and explain the truth. If you have questions, answer them, and if you refute them, argue. What can you do with your magical power, and what can you do with your mysterious power? Is it possible that if someone doesn’t listen to you, you will take action!"
The tone of the 'abbot' remained unchanged: "That's not the case, the Master misunderstood..." At this point, his voice stopped and he seemed to think about it for a moment. After a while, he spoke again, still smiling: "But what the Master said
What you said makes sense, that's all. I'll order people to tear down the wall right now. If it's true, please invite all the donors waiting at the mountain gate."
Su Jing was a little surprised that the other party gave in so easily, and he laughed and said: "I am tireless in teaching, and I am sincerely happy; abbot, you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good!"
At this time, "Yuanzhen" had already carried Su Jing and Xiang Liu and flew far away. Hearing this, he responded with a "Lead the decree" and immediately circled Yunjia back to the mountain gate. Following him, he flicked his big sleeves and Yunjia flew fiercely.
Bring everyone up.
Su Jing, the evil Buddha spoke with deep and profound essence in his voice, and his words were clearly transmitted far and wide. Thousands of people near the mountain gate could all hear them. No one expected that thanks to the blessing of "Great Mercy and Great Compassion", he could actually
Went to listen to the Fa in advance and everyone was very happy.
Up to now, the two little demon monks of "Modaksha" have shown their strength and debated Buddhism. Even the abbot of the ancient temple has been "persuaded" by them. In the eyes of everyone, Su Jing remains the same, but his status has long been lost.
How much weight did it lift?
Some West Sea monsters have already begun to think about whether they will have the opportunity to make friends with these two people in the future. They dare not expect to become friends, but if they can accumulate some affection through several contacts, they might be able to have an extra supporter behind them in the future.
Big backer.
With this thought in mind, someone plucked up the courage to greet the two little demon monks and thanked them for taking everyone to listen to the lecture in advance. Su Jingquan ignored them, and Xiao Xiangliu looked cold and indifferent, except for a pointed head.
When the old monk with a narrow face and a similar appearance to the shrimp monk came to say thank you, Xiao Xiangliu smiled, seeming to have a good impression of this person: "Where is your temple?"
The old monk in the form of a sea monster was flattered, and just as he was about to answer, Su Jing laughed and said to him: "Quickly step back, my junior brother likes to eat shrimps."
The old monk was so frightened that he hurriedly hid back among the crowd. Others were laughing and laughing, but no one dared to talk to the two little monster monks anymore. They wanted to eat whoever they were friendly to, which was completely unbearable.
The evil Bodhisattva "Yuanzhen" presided over Yunjia and flew slowly for a while. His mantra was ready and he said to everyone: "Please stand firm and don't panic." After saying this, Yunjia was shocked!
Everyone felt that their eyes were dimmed at first, then brightened up, and then they saw that the scenery around them had changed.
The clouds disappeared, and before they knew it, everyone landed on the ground and looked around. In the distance, they could see the hazy main hall and the tall towers catching the fog. No need to ask, they were already in the center of the ancient temple.
There was a busy scene in front of me. Hundreds of novice monks were running around, sweating profusely from their work: tearing down walls.
Towering into the clouds, there is a thick wall covered with Sanskrit and Buddhist writings. The huge stones are all three feet square. Like ants moving, the young novices climbed up the wall several times, muttering mantras, and grabbed something larger than them.
He jumped down from the boulder that was dozens of times higher, ran to a fat monk holding a cloth bag in his hand, and dropped the boulder into the bag.
The fat monk was smiling broadly, walking around holding his pockets, and admonishing him softly: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry... I'll put you back together after the abbot's death."
After listening to the second half of the sentence, everyone realized that the monk was actually trying to persuade the bricks in his pocket.
The project was huge, but the novice monks were quick with their hands and feet. After a while, gaps gradually appeared in the high wall. Behind the wall was a clear, clear, mirror-like flat lake.
"This is the lecture hall of our temple." Yuan Zhen explained.
The lecture hall is not a church, nor is the main hall surrounded by high walls. It is a beautiful lake.
Su Jing smiled and said: "It's interesting. This lecture lake really opened my eyes. But your abbot, where are the people listening? Could it be that you are giving lectures at the bottom of the lake? Why raise the temple to the sky and stay directly at the bottom of the sea?
Isn’t it more open and bright than the bottom of the lake?”
"Master, please wait a moment." I wish Zhenquan didn't understand the little demon monk's difficulty, and responded with a smile: "You can enter the temple after all the walls are removed, and everything will be visible by then."
The two little demon monks stopped talking for the time being. Xiang Liu stared at the little novice monk as he was busy, while Su Jing focused more on the cloth-bag monk.
During the time of burning incense, the high wall was completely gone, but the Budai monk was still holding the bag... Hundreds of young novices neatly put their hands together and saluted the guests, and then happily ran towards the Budai monk, and all of them jumped.
All jumped into the pocket.
The fat monk then tied up his cloth bag, put it on his shoulders, swung his sleeves, shuffled his shoes, hummed a little tune, walked away with a smile, and disappeared after a few steps.
At this time, Yuan Zhencai said with his hands to Dahu: "Abbot Qi, everyone is here."
"Okay, please don't panic." Only the abbot's voice was heard, but he was not seen.
As he finished speaking, the lake water suddenly began to boil. The waves were surging and the waves were turbulent. Layers of lake water gathered toward the center of the lake from all directions. A large wave formed in an instant, arching higher and higher.
In the space of two or three breaths, huge waves towered like mountains; in the blink of an eye, the huge waves roared and rushed towards everyone!
The lake water is rolling before my eyes, and my ears are roaring like thunder!
Who could not be horrified? For a moment, a loud light flashed, and thousands of people acted at the same time to protect themselves! A big wave hit their heads, but the huge force they imagined did not come. Everyone only felt a coolness and coolness, and their eyes blurred for a moment.
It quickly became clear and I was busy looking around. The scenery in front of me changed again...
