That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 386

What is the prestige of a fairy?Moving mountains and filling seas, moving mountains and mountains, calling wind and rain with a flick of his sleeve, and attracting thunder from the sky with a single word. After seeing such scenes, Xu Beiyou deeply understood why he said "the earth is immortal on the eighteenth floor, and the first floor has a sky." However, compared with the cultivators on the [-]th floor of the Earth Immortal, the monks who have just entered the realm of the Earth Immortal are far different from each other.

Qingchen took a deep breath, and there were traces of electric light flickering freely in his mouth.

After the age of 80, he began to practice the Dharma of the Heavenly Heart of the Five Thunders. Just now, he did not hesitate to waste his Taoism to attract the thunder, which not only wiped out the entire temple, but also left some thunder energy. At this time, he inhaled the thunder energy into his body , It can be regarded as making up for the previous loss.

After Qingchen swallowed the thunder energy in his mouth, Xu Beiyou asked, "Senior, where are we going next?"

Qingchen said calmly: "Housi Pagoda Forest."

According to the Buddhist system, only after famous monks and eminent monks have passed away, palaces and pagodas are built, stone records are carved, and merits and virtues are used to inspire future generations.The so-called Pagoda Forest, to put it bluntly, is the Buddhist cemetery, where the relics of the eminent monks of the past dynasties are enshrined here, generally located in the depths of Buddhist temples, and are not allowed to enter at leisure.

In fact, long before this temple was abandoned, all the relics had been taken away by Buddhist monks, and now there are only some vacant stone pagodas, but since Qing Chen said that he would go to the Pagoda Forest, Xu Beiyou could not object, after all, this great person not only cultivated It is incomparably frightening, and it is also the No. 1 method of arithmetic. Knowing what ordinary people don't know, maybe Xiao Huang put the treasure in Tallinn.

After passing the Daxiong Palace, there is the already dilapidated Arhat Hall, then the monk's house, Xiangji Kitchen and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. After passing through these places, you will come to the entrance of the Tallinn.

Stone pagodas are like forests, and a rugged path extends among them.

At a glance, there is no end of the road in sight.

The stone pagodas on both sides are divided into [-]st, [-]rd, [-]th, and [-]th grades according to the status of the owner before his death. And reliefs, each pagoda has a pagoda on the front, marking the name of the pagoda owner, and several influential monks beside the pagoda also set up a stele, which records in detail the life story of the pagoda owner, the inheritance of inheritance, and the person who erected the pagoda. , tower age and so on.

Qingchen went first, Xu Beiyou followed a few steps behind, before Qingchen used the mighty thunder to cleanse the filth, now he has never encountered any ghosts during the journey, it is incomparably clean.

After walking through about [-] pagodas, I finally came to the end of the path. There is a huge pagoda, nine feet high, divided into nine floors. The Shimen, the base is carved with lotus, human and beast, flowers and plants, fierce lion, eight diagrams, Buddhist eight treasures, ties and other reliefs under the cloud-shaped phase wheel, which are lifelike.

Xu Beiyou had no reverence for the Buddha, nor could he say he hated it. After all, Jianzong and Daomen belonged to one family, and Jianzong only opposed the Taoist Yuqing lineage. He himself still believed in the Taoist ancestor. Believe in Buddha.

On this point, Qing Chen and Jian Zong are all the same way. He once said bluntly that if he wants to stop calling himself a Taoist, unless the Taoist ancestor himself opens his mouth to drive him out of the gate wall, in the end he is just at odds with the Taoist sect, not Abandon Daozu.

The Dao ancestor and the Dao sect are not one, and the kendo dispute is also a fight between the same room under the Dao ancestor.

Xu Beiyou sighed. If he wanted to quell the rivalry, even if the Taoist ancestor came to the world, it would take a lot of effort, wouldn't he?

After he came back to his senses, he saw Qing Chen standing at the stele in front of the pagoda, groaning silently, as if he was looking at the inscription on the stele.

Xu Beiyou glanced at it and found that it was written in Sanskrit. He couldn't help asking, "Senior, can you understand the writing on the stele?"

Qing Chen didn't turn his head back, and said calmly: "There are dozens of languages ​​in the world. I don't dare to say that I am proficient in all of them, but there are still seven or eight out of ten."

After all, he changed his hands repeatedly, and played out a series of complicated and complicated formulas. The stars, like fireflies in the night, flew into the stone tablet.

Under Xu Beiyou's shocked gaze, the stele gradually revealed a vision.

I saw the Sanskrit characters on the tablet began to swim by themselves like tadpoles, shifting shapes and positions according to some mysterious trajectory, and finally formed an image of a monk sitting cross-legged.

There is a golden Buddha light shining through the whole stone tablet.

Qingchen said word by word: "That's what I heard. At one time, the Buddha was benefiting the heavens, and preached the Dharma for his mother. At that time, in the immeasurable worlds of the ten directions, all Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas Mahasattvas, who could not speak or speak, all came to gather. Praise and explain Buddha Kamuni, in the evil world of the five turbidities, can manifest the power of inconceivable great wisdom and supernatural powers, tame strong and strong beings, and know the dharma of suffering and happiness."

As Qing Chen recited, the golden light on the stele became more and more intense, and there was even the faint sound of Sanskrit singing.

Ksitigarbha Vow Sutra?Xu Beiyou was surprised. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is one of the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism. He made the great wish of "the hell is not empty, and he will never become a Buddha". In terms of Qing Chen's extensive knowledge of the scriptures, being able to memorize the entire text is nothing.

Qingchen continued to recite: "At that time, all the comings from the ten directions, all Buddhas, Tathagatas, and great Bodhisattvas, the eight divisions of heaven and dragons. Hearing about Sakyamuni Buddha, praised Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, his mighty power is inconceivable. Sighing has never happened. It is the time when the heavens are benefiting, and immeasurable fragrant flowers are raining down, and heavenly clothes and pearl necklaces have been made offerings to Shakyamuni Buddha and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. All the members of the assembly will return to salute, and leave with palms together."

After reciting a Ksitigarbha Sutra, the originally symbolic stone gate slowly rises upwards.

Behind the stone door is a staircase leading to the ground.

Xu Beiyou hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Why do you have to recite the Ksitigarbha Vow Sutra to open the door?"

Qing Chen stomped his feet, and said with a sneer: "This is where Xiao Yu's intention lies. Presumably he was unwilling to die early, so he left behind here, and it is related to Ksitigarbha. Character."

"Detachment?" Xu Beiyou chewed the word carefully, and couldn't help feeling that it was very meaningful.

The emperor who once ruled the world is getting more and more foggy. He was once invincible in the world, but he died suddenly when he just turned sixty. Just feign death to get away.

Today Qingchen used the word detachment, which is very interesting. What kind of situation is he in to seek detachment?

Xu Beiyou asked softly: "Emperor Xiao...is he really dead?"

Qing Chen didn't answer directly, and calmly said: "Twenty years of Taiping, poor Taoists watching the sky at night, Ziwei shifted, Emperor Star fell, and Zhou Xing fluctuated."

Ziwei is the emperor star, what does the emperor star fall means, there is no need to explain too much, and Zhou Xing refers to the stars around the emperor star, that is, the civil and military of the Manchu dynasty at that time.

The so-called ups and downs of Zhou Xing, if you think about it, is the blue-han faction struggle back then.

Xu Beiyou frowned and said, "How could someone like Xiao Huang die so easily?"

Qing Chen's tone was flat, "Success is also a general trend, and failure is also a general trend. Xiao Yu was invincible back then, and carried the general trend, invincible, but the way of heaven has a cycle. As the saying goes, the world has the same force when it comes, and it is not free to transport a hero. There has never been a hundred years in the world." Emperor, if the sky wants to kill him, what can he do?"

Xu Beiyou gently stroked the hilt of the Xie sword with his palm.

Going against the sky is easy to say, but if you really do it, the difficulty is no less than that of a poor man who wants to resist the current imperial court. Even if you are the emperor of the world, you can't escape the word "heaven".

Qing Chen suddenly said something inexplicable, "It's not easy to defy the sky, but it's not difficult to bully the sky."

Xu Beiyou's eyes widened suddenly.
