The auspicious place of wonderful fragrance, the Great Thunder Sound Tower of Nanli. The implication is that Master Wuyu wants to unify the Buddhist sect of Nanli!
Song Yang still couldn't quite understand what Master Tai said. It wasn't that she didn't explain it clearly enough, but... she was exaggerating too much.
Who is Yan Ding? He suffered a tragedy when he was young, but he got a blessing in disguise and became a member of the world's best Qi sect. He himself is a genius. In just ten years, he has become the world's best poisoner and the best martial arts person in the world.
One person, the most powerful person in the world. And his origin is inextricably linked to the royal family of Dayan. The Yan Dynasty devoted all the power of the country to help him, and this is how the Great Thunder Sound Tower came to be.
The most mysterious Yan Guoshi in Middle-earth.
Master Wuyu just touched her lips and wanted to catch up with Yan Ding's achievements? Even though she is now very famous and has a great influence among Nanli Buddhists, she wants to control all of Nanli Buddhism by herself.
In the hand, it is still too high-spirited.
Song Yang talked for a while before speaking tactfully: "Master Tai, your current situation is different from Qingmu's. The most important thing is that the fake has Yan Ding's full support behind him."
Wuyu showed interest in this topic and made a gesture to signal Song Yang to continue talking.
"Aoki pretended to be the master's wife and helped Prince Jing seize the throne. Prince Jing will probably give her the title of 'Guardian of the Country'..." This is a conclusion that has been discussed with Mr. Hu a long time ago. It should not be separated from ten.
You would be wrong. And after that, not to mention the government and monarchy, King Jing was the puppet of the Imperial Master. To put it more ugly, Ren Tang, an old man in his sixties or seventies, became an emperor. Yan is the father of the country, and Emperor Yan
He Jingtai is his father.
As for the divine power, Aoki will help the national master to preside over it. There are two results here:
Ideally, Qingmu would use Wuyu's prestige and the support of Prince Jing to twist the Nanli Buddhist sect into a rope and turn it into a strong force, just like the current state of Yan. However, Nanli Buddhists have been scattered for many years, and compared with Yan,
Monks in the country are much more pure, and it would be difficult for them to truly surrender and obey orders forever;
The second result is to settle for the next best thing. The land has boundaries but Buddhism has no boundaries. It is not unusual for monks from the Yan Kingdom to come to Nanli to practice scriptures. A large number of eminent monks from the Yan Kingdom came to Nanli to create a Buddhist scriptures for Qingmu in accordance with the decree of Yan Ding.
A new situation. Anyway, the Buddhists in Nanli are like a loose sand. Since they can’t cohere, let’s not work in vain. If there is anything, we can simply let the eminent monk Dayan do it for us...
Song Yang himself estimated that the first of these two situations had almost no possibility of being realized, while the second result had a great chance of success.
Song Yang spoke extremely carefully.
All these analyzes of his were pouring cold water on Wuyu, but Wuyu nodded with a smile: "It is good for a young man to have such knowledge. No wonder he was recognized by Honglong at such a young age and was named the Marquis of Changchun."
After that, she continued the previous topic: "Then please help me think about it again, what should I do if I want to build a wonderful and auspicious place?"
Song Yang was discouraged. All those words he just said were in vain... He had not been in contact with Wuyu for a long time, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that this teacher was careless, but she was so pretentious about this matter.
.
Wuyu was an elder, companion, comrade-in-arms, and someone Shi Xiaoxiao admired. Song Yang couldn't deal with her, so he still responded seriously: "Master, if you want to succeed, you must have the help of the imperial court; but with the support of the imperial court alone, you can't do anything."
It's far from enough. For hundreds of years, from the previous dynasty to the present, the kings of Nanli have not interfered with Buddhist affairs. Now if you want to get ahead, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. At least, the master must first have his own situation, and then the court can
So that I can add some strength. This situation does not refer to your current prestige, I mean true support and surrender..."
Song Yang's meaning couldn't be more clear. Wuyu has a good reputation and is now very popular. It is not difficult for Monk Nanli to help him do something with his temporary enthusiasm. But it really requires many abbots of famous temples and eminent monks to stand up and declare their support.
Wuyu is called the "Holy Dharma Master" and takes her decree as the Buddha's name. How is it like an idiot talking about dreams?
After finishing speaking, Song Yang added: "Don't misunderstand me. I hope this thing you mentioned can be done, but I have to tell the truth."
Wuyu expressed understanding and said with a smile: "Did you know that in ancient times, there were also Yanding-like characters in Nanli... and two of them appeared at once."
Song Yang blinked his eyes, the topic changed too abruptly, and he was a little confused for a moment. Wuyu continued: "There are two outstanding figures among the Buddhists in Nanli. I won't mention their names. Let's call them Ah Mao.
Dog. He has superb Buddhist knowledge, a powerful mind, and sharp methods...cats and dogs are all extremely talented. There will be no real wizards for hundreds of years. Three hundred years ago, two were born at once, but both of them had great ambitions.
, all want to unify Nanli Buddhism."
"Amao was named a holy monk by believers, and Agou was regarded as the reincarnation of an Arhat by his fans. Later, the two became more and more powerful and began to compete with each other. From secret fighting to overt fighting, the two were equal in intelligence and equal in means.
, no one can do anything to anyone, today you win, tomorrow I will win, this fight will last for decades. At that time, there was no Nanli Kingdom, and almost all the Buddhists in the southwest were involved. The world should be peaceful and peaceful.
The Outer Pure Land was turned into a mess by these two people, and it was no different from the underworld, rivers and lakes... Of course, this is my opinion. At that time, the believers in the world didn't think much of it, so those who participated felt that they were defending the Tao and protecting the Dharma.
Throw yourself into it and forget about death."
"Although Ah Mao and Ah Gou live together in the world, their ages are still different after all. Ah Mao is twenty years older than Ah Gou. The two fought fiercely, but in the end they couldn't fight. Ah Mao didn't lose, but he was too old.
He couldn't do it anymore... He was ninety years old and was about to die. It was impossible not to lose. Before he died, he came alone to Agou's base camp, Bodhi Temple. Before he died, Amao wanted to see Agou."
"Agou is already sure of winning, but he understands that Amao lost to Tian, not his hands. Agou was not very happy, but he really admired Amao, and he was a natural enemy and a lifelong enemy.
The enemy came to see him before he died, so it was not a sign of respect. Agou ignored his disciples' dissuasion and went out in person to welcome Amao into the monastery."
Ah Mao died soon, and he no longer wanted to fight. In the next three days, Ah Mao and Ah Gou talked about Buddhist scriptures and Buddhism. There were no more arguments and they just expressed their opinions. You must know that they are both great men of the world, and each has his own wonderful things.
The knowledge and conversation were extremely joyful. At that time, the monks in the World Bodhi Monastery could often see the two old monks laughing and dancing happily when they talked about it...
By the early morning of the fourth day, Ah Mao's spirit began to slump and he was tired. It was time for him to live. Ah Gou stood in front of him and sighed sadly: "If I can, I will give you ten years of life.
Wouldn't it be great if you and I fight for another ten years and then reach the bliss of bliss together hand in hand?"
Ah Mao said disdainfully: "Are you sure that you will live as long as me and live to the full ninety years?"
Ah Gou was startled, and then burst into laughter; Ah Mao continued: "You and I have been fighting for decades, you should be satisfied!"
Agou was stunned again: "If you fight, you'll fight. What does 'doing more' mean?"
"You are not as good as me." Ah Mao said in a weak voice, "It's not about talent and mind, it's about... mastership."
Ah Mao was born in a famous ancient temple, while Ah Gou grew up in a wild temple. In terms of their backgrounds, they are very different. But when Ah Mao said this, Ah Gou smiled and shook his head: "You have the teachings of your master and the insights of your predecessors for practice.
But I relied on my own exploration and understanding. In the end, you and I were evenly matched, so I think I'm smarter than you."
Ah Mao was very tired and stopped arguing. He just laughed hard and said: "I have a gift for you. It will be delivered in a while... I will fight with you for half my life. It is very enjoyable... I don't regret it... Let's not talk about it now.
Go out, don't disturb my sleep."
Soon Ah Mao fell into a deep sleep and never woke up again.
Agou treated him with the courtesy of his fellow disciples, and called his disciples to perform rituals. Amao's disciples wanted to participate and all were accommodated. Ten days after Amao's death, the gift he left for Agou was finally delivered to Bodhi Zen Monastery, which was a land deed.
Agou was puzzled and found the location of the land deed. What surprised him even more was that it was a pond at the foot of Jingergang, a famous Buddhist mountain in Nanli. It was small in area, only three acres of water in total. He surrounded it
After wandering around the pond for a while, I couldn't see anything on the surface, so I simply took off my clothes and got into the water, diving down to take a look.
As soon as he entered the water, he was surprised to find that the water in the pond was extremely cold to the bone.
In the cave in Jingergang Mountain, there is a deep icy pool deep in the cave, which is very famous among Nanli Buddhists. Needless to say, this pond is connected to the cold water in the mountain. Agou knew that Amao left it to him
The land deed must have a deep meaning. He gritted his teeth and swam in the cold water. Fortunately, he was also a master, so he could barely hold on. If an ordinary person got into the water, he would be frozen to death.
The pond was very small, and soon after Gou dived into the water, he noticed something strange. In the middle of the muddy bottom of the pond, there was a large vat sitting on it. When he got closer to the mouth of the vat, he saw a small green tower inside, which was fixed to the bottom of the vat by an iron chain.
When he saw the small tower, Ah Gou felt a dull buzzing in his head, and he almost immediately understood the meaning of what Ah Mao said before his death, "The divisions are different, and we will fight for decades more"...
…
Nanli has been influenced by the fragrance of Buddhism, and Zen Buddhism has flourished for thousands of years. There have been countless holy monks and living Buddhas, and countless celebrities. But the most famous one is not Amao Agou, let alone Wuyu Master Tai, but a man from ancient times.
An eminent monk named Pingtuo.
During the sermon, a golden dragon appeared, an auspicious light appeared in the sky, and the white lotus was undefeated in the practice...There are countless legends about Pingtuo. When he passed away, it was said that his true body appeared in the world, he got the lotus throne and left through the sky, until
At that time, people all over the world knew that he was a direct disciple of the Buddha and the reincarnation of His Excellency Bo Erli.
Hearing this, Song Yang wanted to laugh again, but Master Wuyu simply laughed: "It is indeed a bit strange, but it is not the most strange thing."
After Pingtuo passed away, his disciples read his last words and found out that the master had already known his true identity before his death, and that he had broken through all reincarnations in his past and present lives. He would even leave a relic after his death.
arrive.
The decree clearly stated that the disciples were ordered to seal the relics with a green pagoda and sink them into the icy water pool of Jingergang Cave. One day, Venerable Youbo Erli would re-enter reincarnation and return to the world, and he would retrieve his relics at that time.
The disciples followed the master's decree and asked countless eminent monks from Nanli to share their opinions, placed the relics in the small pagoda, and then sank the Blue Sky Relic Pagoda into the Jing'ergang Cold Pond.
The most important thing is that this legend is full of details. The descriptions about the Blue Pagoda and the top relics are extremely detailed and cannot be copied at all. If someone wants to make a fake one, they can't hide it...
At that time, Agou was shocked when he saw the green pagoda. He took the green pagoda out of the jar, returned to the ground and opened it. Sure enough, there was a parietal bone relic placed in it, which was smooth and round, as bright as a pearl.
Both the tower and the relic beads are the same as in the legend.
Hearing this, Song Yang suddenly became enlightened, and Agou from three hundred years ago also suddenly realized.
Pingtuo may really be an eminent monk, but his stories about spitting lotus flowers and the reincarnation of the venerable are all made up by others. The important thing is not the person Pingtuo, but the legend: who can escape from the cold pool
Take out the Blue Sky Relic Pagoda, who is the reincarnation of the Buddha's venerable Youbo Elli.
As for the fabricator of the Ping Tuo legend, he was Ah Mao’s disciple.
Perhaps the senior monks had foreseen that there would be strife and chaos in Nanli Buddhism in the future; perhaps they were worried that evildoers would appear in Buddhism in the future and would trick believers into engaging in evil deeds. Therefore, Ah Mao’s senior disciples weaved legends and designed
Such a scam was set up and passed down from generation to generation. If one day there is civil strife in Buddhism, his disciples only need to go to the pond to take out the Blue Sky Relic Pagoda, then invite eminent monks to testify, hide the treasure, go for a swim in the deep pool, and wait for him to come ashore again.
, he is the reincarnated lord.
The Venerable returned to the human world, and the Nanli Buddhists returned to their hearts. No matter what kind of disputes there were at that time, they could be easily resolved by him, and everything was naturally peaceful.
For this matter, the painstaking effort spent by Ah Mao's senior disciples is beyond calculation. It is not difficult to concoct a legend, but it is not easy to make this ethereal legend become a deep-rooted 'impression' in the hearts of Nanli Buddhists.
, you have to preach it year after year, and continue to preach it from generation to generation in order to be successful; raising the stupa under the water veins of Jingergang is also a good intention. The legendary stupa is hidden in
Cold Pond has experienced countless years, from the green pagoda to the relics, the water has been soaked with water and filled with coldness. It has to be like this so that it will not arouse suspicion when it is used in the future.
Looking at the blue sky stupa in his hand, Agou suddenly smiled, not with joy, but with self-deprecation... When fighting Amao, he had thought about it many times, wanting to use this legend to find out or forge this.
He tried to find a treasure to win over believers, but he had to give up because it was too difficult. He really didn't expect that the stupa would always be in Ah Mao's hands.
Thinking about it on the other hand, if Ah Mao was willing to use the Blue Sky Relic Pagoda, Ah Gou would have been completely defeated. How could he have struggled for decades... The reason why he never used the treasure is unknown. Maybe it was Ah Mao thinking that
The situation in front of him was not worth wasting this treasure; maybe it was because he had worked so hard to live up to his master for his own sake, which made him feel guilty; or maybe Ah Mao did not seek victory but only wanted to fight, and the feeling of meeting an opponent made him unable to stop, and he did not want to rely on external help.
I don't want the 'chess game' to end either.
Agou himself is more inclined to the last statement. For decades, he has been seeking victory all the time, racking his brains to deal with powerful enemies, until Amao died of old age. He won, but he was not happy at all, and of course not.
Too sad, neither happy nor angry, I just feel that the world has suddenly become vast, but I have become small...empty, homeless, not lonely, but a little lonely.
The game of chess is over.
Ah Mao didn't cheat, but he actually gave in to Ah Gou.
If A Gou were in A Mao's shoes, he would probably do the same thing.
The chess game that was reluctant to end was finally over. Without his opponent, his ambition seemed to have lost its place. There was a world in front of him, but Agou could no longer find any interest in doing anything...
If he had a choice, he would rather Ah Mao still murmured curses to him before he died, and he would rather Ah Mao never went to his Bodhi Zen Monastery before he died.
So he changed the name of the temple and changed its name to Bodhi Zen Temple.
Agou put the Blue Sky Relic Pagoda back to its original position, returned to the monastery, put down everything, and quietly worked in the Buddhist hall. Three years later, the old monk stood up and left the monastery with a smile on his face, without saying anything to anyone, and no longer knew where he was.
trace.
After finishing talking about cats and dogs, Song Yang stared at Master Tai with bright eyes: "Don't come to the Zen Yuan?"
Wuyu smiled: "That's right, don't come to the Zen Temple. Agou is my master."
Song Yang's expression became a little nervous: "That Blue Sky Relic Pagoda..."
Wuyu nodded, his smile unchanged: "I know where it is, and I also know that the legend about the reincarnation of the Venerable is still circulated among Nanli Buddhists, and it has a very important weight... If not, do you think Yan Ding
Why did you find me? Why has Aoki been so reluctant to kill me? How useful is Wuyu's reputation of pretending to be here? In the final analysis, it's not for the Blue Sky Relic Pagoda."
The Master paused for a moment, then continued: "There is also an underground palace in the Zen Yuan. The air path is built far away, because the underground palace was originally used as a 'refuge'. Agou was afraid that Amao would come to kill him, so he picked it up for himself.
It was an underground palace, but the access mechanism was changed by Aoki, and it became what it became later."
Song Yang ignored the underground palace and pursued the previous topic: "You always know that the whereabouts of the treasure stupa are top secret. How does Yan Ding know?"
Wuyu slowly shook his head: "I don't know where he learned it, but it's not important... What's important is that he wants to seize this pagoda and wants all the Buddhists in Nanli to be used for him. How can I let him get his wish?"
.Buddhist disciples are compassionate and unconcerned with the world, but when evil spirits appear everywhere, it is also our nature to eliminate evil spirits and defend the Way. This is probably the original intention of Senior Amao's disciples in doing this."
Song Yang's interest suddenly increased when he heard this: "Master, are you going to...use that treasure?"
"Yanding has done evil things in the name of my Buddha, and he should be the enemy of Buddhists in the world. The evil demons are powerful, and the Buddhist disciples in Nanli are nothing more than a plate of scattered sand. If they can't work together, how can they protect the Dharma and eliminate the demons? The blue sky stupa has been silent for thousands of years.
"It's time to wake it up." Wuyu sat up straight: "It won't be long before the reincarnated lord will reappear in the world. The auspicious place of wonderful fragrance is his place of practice. I chose your fiefdom because,
