Chapter 140—Skin and Demon
Chapter 140—Skin and Demon
There is a dilapidated village temple seventy miles away from Chang'an City. It is said to be a temple, but it is not a bodhisattva and Luohan enshrined by the Buddha, nor a king of Dalun Ming, but a land temple.But there is no doubt that as long as the temple is in the incense of the Sui Dynasty, do not expect to be exuberant.Perhaps the land master in this temple felt very stubborn and moved away in anger.Later, whoever built the house in the village did not use enough materials to dismantle it, so that after a long time, only four walls remained in the temple.
The Central Plains dynasty before the Great Sui was called Dazheng, the royal family.But the Wangs and Jiangnan Wangs were not a family, and after more than 400 years, they finally fell apart.However, the most similar thing between Wang Dazheng and the current Sui Dynasty is that these two dynasties were not interested in Buddhism.
The difference is that Dazheng still has a gap for Buddhism.Some monks from the West preached to the Central Plains, and although they did not allow the Buddhism to carry forward, they barely stood still.After the death of Dazheng, Emperor Taizu of Sui Dynasty ordered the monks to be expelled from the country.Since then, there is no Buddha in the Central Plains.It is said that the emperor Taizu hated the monks in this way because when he started his army, the people of Buddhism had secretly helped the Dazheng dynasty.Relying on the strong character of Taizu, how can it endure?
Therefore, the talents of Buddhism will say that the Central Plains is a place where monsters are rampant, because those monks who built a few temples in Dazheng in those years were all driven back.With a little hesitation, a big stick came over.
This land temple is not related to the temple of Buddhism, but it was also implicated because of the great Sui Dynasty driving the Buddha.You must know that during the hundred years between the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty and the present Emperor Yang Yi, the Great Sui was in a period of no religious belief for all people.Daozong was highly esteemed by the emperor Tianyou after he ascended the throne. Prior to this, the only people who believed in the Sui Dynasty were His Majesty the Emperor.
The people firmly believe that Emperor Sui can bring them a rich and beautiful life.
The successive emperors of the Sui Dynasty did this, and the people lived and worked in peace.The rich are not arrogant, the poor are not humble, so people do not need any religious belief in such a good life.But Buddhism could not find anything to borrow to confuse the people against the tyranny of the imperial court. Even if there were some injustices in the world, they could not make the people feel dissatisfied with the imperial court.
This is a very strange period, this is a very strange country.
A hundred years later, even the Great Emperor Minglun gave up the idea of continuing his mission to the Central Plains.Of course, the present Dalun Mingwang and the Dalun Mingwang a hundred years ago are not alone.The replacement of King Mingzong is very mysterious. The previous Ming dynasty appointed the person to take over before sitting down. Then the Ming dynasty will take this person into the Buddhist sacred place, the golden palace of the Ming dynasty on the top of the Great Snow Mountain. Inheriting the mantle, the body of the last Ming king remained in the secret room.
Never allow anyone to see the body of the last Ming King again.
Regardless of whether the new Ming Wang cultivated advanced or not before taking over, he became the first person in the world after being inherited.These seven days, how to make an ordinary person become the strongest person of Buddhism, no one knows except King Ming.
Many people have speculated that Buddhism must have a wonderful way of spreading merit.Before he died, the old Ming king passed his whole life to the new Ming king.
The Temple of Earth was broken to the point of crumbling, and even the remaining four walls had collapsed a lot.There is no shelter from the wind and rain. If this place is not a village where children occasionally come to catch crickets and play, no one will come.Near the corner, an old monk wearing a gray cloth monk put down the young man in his arms, looked at the wound on his body, frowned slightly, and said the king's mercy.
He took a jade bottle out of his arms and poured out a pill of dark green elixir.Prying open the young man's mouth and stuffing the pill into it, and looking for some rainwater accumulated in the broken temple to feed the young man a few sips.The rain fell a few days ago, and there was already a smelly smell, but the old monk didn't seem to care either. After feeding the young man a few sips, he drank some.
After drinking water, he sat cross-legged in a fairly clean place and closed his eyes to refresh himself.
I didn't know how long it had passed. The unconscious young man suddenly coughed a few times, a black blood poured out of his mouth, and his chest was extremely undulating.
The old monk slowly opened his eyes to look at him, and saw that the young man's smooth black hair fell to the ground like snow for a moment.In a few moments, no hair was visible on that head.
The old monk waited for the young man's hair to fall, but he couldn't help but nodded when he vomited blood again.He got up and walked over to help the young monk sit up.He uncovered his broken shirt and looked at it. The blood hole that had covered the young man had scarred.
I don't know what immortal medicine the old monk had given before.
After a while, the young monk slowly woke up.Opening his eyes and seeing the kind-hearted old monk staring at himself, he quickly got up and knelt down to knock.
"Disciples are incompetent, please ask Master to punish."
...
...
The old monk sat cross-legged on the ground and smiled and said to Chen Ya: "Before I came to Da Sui, I would have considered you to have a disaster. If this disaster can be overcome, it is not a good thing for you to cultivate it."
"If there is no master, the disciple is already dead."
Chen Ya bowed his head.
"You idiot, I am your master, you are my disciple, I will not ride you through the disaster, who will come to you? When you left Daxueshan, I gave you a sumidan, but I expected you to have This disaster of bloodshed. Unfortunately, you are too obsessed with obsession, and turned Naxumidan into a killing weapon. Instead of failing to retreat the enemy, it was almost killed. And I was asked to use another Bodhi to save your life. It ’s my dissatisfaction. "
"The disciple knows wrong."
Dingya worshipped and said: "The disciples underestimated the Sui people, and Fang You lost today."
"Being able to recognize the mistakes you have made and introspection is growth, and it is not a waste of you to come to Dasui for this trip."
"Master, why did you come to Chang'an?"
Chen Ya asked curiously.
"I told you before you came, that the Western world is a pure land, and the eastern demon is living in the world. Don't think that you are good and don't put the demon in your eyes. You have been cultivated for a short time. How many even the King of Ming is a big devil. Eleven years ago, there was a demon headed from Chang'an City in the Sui Dynasty to the west, and entered the Western land. The King noticed and sent disciples to demons. "
"Who thought that the devil's cultivation practice was so high that he killed several Luohans in succession, and there were many followers around him who were all cultivated as good people. Ming Wang heard that the disciples were martyred, and sent my brothers to be free and respectable. Lingbao Tianzun went down the mountain to meet the enemy. Lingbao fought against the demon head and lost it. Brother Zizi shot himself, but he did not stop the demon head from continuing to go west. The big land of the western world because of the arrival of the monsters, the King Ming went down the mountain , Angry with diamonds, this suppressed the devil. "
"Eleven years ago, the westward invasion of the demon was sealed up. Let the disciples know about it, why do you know?"
"Disciples are dull"
"Because if this matter is known, the status of my Buddhism will be shaken. Under the world, all except the Sui people believe in the Ming King. No matter the Buddhism disciple, the time vulgar, all know that Wang Xiu is the world Wushuang, but in that battle ... King Ming was actually injured. "
"what?!"
Chen Yanmeng raised his head, his face full of incredible.
"Who is that person ?!"
He asked in surprise.
"I only know that it is the person of the Royal Sui Dynasty."
The old monk sighed: "If this matter is known to the disciples, it will inevitably be unbearable. King Ming has great wisdom, knowing that if this matter is proclaimed, the common people and the disciples of Buddhism who believe in King Ming must be angry. Sui people are all demons, how can they fear war? Once the war starts, the spirits will be painted. I do n’t know how many people will die, how many rivers and mountains will be destroyed. Since the demon has been suppressed, the Ming King decided to seal this matter.
"What does this have to do with you, Master?"
Chen Chen asked.
The old monk was silent for a while, slowly shook his head and said: "Just after you entered the Da Sui, another devil headed west."
"what!"
Chen Ya was shocked by what the old monk said, feeling that a heart must jump out of his throat: "But ... but also as fierce as the demon eleven years ago?"
"Although it's not enough, it's almost the same."
The old monk said: "Ming Wang couldn't retreat eleven years ago. Brother Shi Yuan of the Discipline Academy brought the golden body monks and soldiers to the Daxue Mountains to meet the enemy. Brother Da Zi was afraid that the Sui people would still have support, so let me go to the Central Plains to check. The former great demon brought hundreds of entourages westward, but this time, the demon brought only one person, which was extremely strange. Brother Da Zizai was worried about the Sui people still having tricks, so I came. I wanted to check it secretly, and then bring When you go back, you can't think that there are still many masters among the Sui people. Even I have to be surprised that the Sui people are so magical. "
"Master, let's go back to Daxue Mountain?"
"Well, naturally go back."
"but……"
Chen Ya paused for a moment, then stopped talking.
The old monk said indifferently: "But you are unwilling, right? You were here to kill that solution, but you almost died here. If you don't kill him, you can't be quiet in your heart, right?"
"Yes!"
Chen Yan bowed his head and said: "Ming Wang once said that there is a small dust in the disciple's heart. If this dust cannot be removed, it will not be completed after all. The disciple has been practicing for many years but does not know what the dust in his heart is. The enemy ’s fear, but after a hard time, the disciple realizes that the dust in the disciple ’s heart is the solution, not the Taoist ancestors. If you do n’t remove him, you wo n’t be at peace. ”
"Idiot"
The old monk shook his head and sighed: "I thought you could not understand the teachings of the transparent king through this difficulty, who thought that it would sink deeper and deeper."
"Please ask Master to solve the puzzle"
Dust fell down and touched the ground sincerely with his head, saying: "The disciples are dull and cannot comprehend the true words of Ming Wang Miao Fa."
The old monk gave Chen Ya a pityful look: "You are the most intelligent disciple in my seat. I thought you could understand it without having to teach you anything. Now it seems that the more intelligent people are, the easier it is to find. No direction. The dust in your heart is not any enemy, but yourself. "
"Myself?"
Chen Ya was startled and said, "The disciples are puzzled."
"You always feel that you can be fulfilled, and you are anxious to be fulfilled. This is the dust in your heart. Since you were young and practicing, you have a high self-esteem. I didn't call it. This is my fault. Is your obsession. When you no longer obsess over consummation, you will be able to complete it. "
"Stubborn?"
Chen Ya remained silent for a while, and again bowed to her and said, "The disciples understand."
"No ... you haven't understood."
The old monk smiled and said, "If you understand, you won't say you understand. How can you understand the beauty of Buddhism?"
At this time, the old monk pointed outside and said, "What is that?"
Chen Ya glanced out, and saw someone in the distance approaching here.Carrying a parcel with a wooden stick as a cane in his hand, it was apparently a long journey.
"That's Sui people"
Chen Yadao.
"wrong"
The old monk said lightly: "That's a demon. There are people in the Sui's skin, but the skin is full of devil."
He looked outside and asked, "What is that?"
"That's a demon"
"wrong"
"Ah? Why are the disciples wrong again?"
"He is a Sui man, and his demon is not born. Before the demon was born, he was still a man."
"Disciples don't understand."
"It's good if you don't understand. You don't understand if you understand."
The old monk got up and pointed at the people who came here.The man shivered and fell softly.
"Bring him, let's go."
"Why bring him?"
"Are you hungry?"
The old monk suddenly asked such a sentence.
