Chapter 232 Protecting the Nation Tianlong Temple

Dachang Dynasty, Taichang City.

The third wave came to the earth altar, and those who troubled the four eminent monks came from the palace.

The contemporary king of Dachang——King Changwu, together with his favorite concubine Xiang, came to the west of the city to meet the famous and powerful four monks.

The Changwu King had invited the four monks to the palace to give lectures to him many times, but the four monks refused, saying that all living beings are equal, and he did not want to leave the Tanyue believers who came all the way west of the city to listen to the scriptures.

Even if it is the life of the king, it cannot restrain the real strong.

And these four eminent monks are the most outstanding figures in the world. King Changwu had no choice but to go out of the palace to see him.

When a king travels, thousands of people accompany him.

Two unicorns with jade horns lead the way, and the king's purple-gold dragon chariot, without curtains, is carried by 28 Jinwu warriors at the level of martial arts masters.

Ladies and gentlemen on both sides, in pairs, are holding various colorful ceremonial guards, holding fans, carrying stoves, holding umbrellas, holding gold melons, holding axes and axes, holding jade bottles, and carrying palace lanterns...

Shouting in front and embracing in back, wherever they pass, the people of the country kowtow to greet them one after another.

Only to the west of the city, as far as the eyes could see, was an open space, where tens of thousands of people sat around the earthen altar, listening to the four monks preaching scriptures and Dharma, not caring about the presence of their own country lord.

King Changwu was furious at first, but after hearing the wonderful teachings of the Buddhist scriptures, his complexion softened again.

The lord of a country came in person, of course the four eminent monks could not turn a blind eye, they welcomed Emperor Changwu and Concubine Xiang to the earthen altar together.

King Changwu asked: "The master said in his lectures that the Bodhisattva Dawei Tianlong has boundless wisdom, supreme supernatural powers, and omnipotence. I don't know if it is true or not?"

The four monks replied: "Dawei Tianlong Bodhisattva is the fruit of the Buddha. He knows all living beings in the world, has the wisdom of reality, understands everything, is invincible, invincible, and possesses ten powers. He is omnipotent, and there will be no falsehood."

King Changwu asked, "What are the ten powers?"

The four monks replied: "The Buddhas of the heavens have ten powers, namely, the intelligence of non-locality, the intelligence of different karma, the intelligence of meditation and liberation, the intelligence of up and down, the intelligence of all kinds of superior solutions, the intelligence of various realms, the intelligence of all destinies, Suspicion intelligence, life and death intelligence, exhaustion intelligence..."

King Changwu asked: "If the Buddha really has such supernatural powers, how can all living beings suffer?"

The four monks replied: "Buddha crosses a predestined person."

King Changwu asked, "What is a predestined person?"

The four monks replied: "If you have a Buddha in your heart, you will have the fate of the Buddha, and the Buddha will save the world."

King Changwu laughed and said, "Master enshrines Dawei Tianlong Bodhisattva, so it is an exaggeration of his ability, which is not enough to be believed."

The four monks replied: "Monks don't tell lies."

King Changwu said: "There is no basis for what you say. Master practices the Dharma of the Upper Vehicle and has a Buddha in his heart. He must be blessed by a Bodhisattva and has great supernatural powers. Why don't we make a bet and try the Dharma inheritance and wisdom supernatural powers of this Dawei Tianlong Bodhisattva. "

The four monks calmed down and asked directly: "I don't know what the king wants to bet?"

King Changwu took a look at the stunningly beautiful concubine Xiang, and hugged her willow-like waist, saying: "My beloved concubine has the most kind heart, and even an ant can't bear to trample to death on weekdays. He also often advises me to help orphans and widows, with a compassionate heart, and I must be the kind of person Bodhisattvas like."

The four monks replied: "The Bodhisattva sails to Purdue with compassion, and the concubine Xiang has compassion and kindness in her heart, so she can naturally gain the favor and protection of the Bodhisattva."

King Changwu smiled strangely. Regardless of Concubine Xiang's pale face, he grabbed her by the neck and said, "Then let's use her life to gamble for a game. The four masters may as well guess, at today's sunset Before, is Xiangfei in my hand dead or alive?"

When Concubine Xiang heard this, her eyes were full of tears.

hum!Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar.

No one around the earth altar expected that King Changwu would gamble with the life of his favorite concubine to test the power of Bodhisattva Buddhism.

It is said that King Changwu acted absurdly, and he only got to see a corner today.Such a stunning beauty in the world, the beloved concubine who shared the same bed, unexpectedly took it out so easily as a gamble...

They know that this is an unfair gamble.

If the four monks replied that they were dead, King Changwu would definitely let go and spare Xiangfei's life.

The four monks follow the way of compassion and can save the life of Concubine Xiang, but they will lose the bet, which will damage the majesty of Buddhism and destroy their omnipotent remarks.

And if the four monks replied that they were alive, then King Changwu might really crush Xiangfei to death.

Although the four monks won the bet, but Xiang Fei died because of them, which would also lose the way of compassion in Buddhism, hit the majesty of Buddhism, and broke his words of compassion and universal salvation.

However, the four monks didn't see the slightest panic, and gave an answer in Xiangfei's expectant eyes:
"Xiangfei can live."

As soon as the words fell, King Changwu exerted force on his hands.

"Crack!" With a sound, Xiangfei died and collapsed to the ground.

King Changwu smiled and said: "Haha, master, you lost. Look at this concubine Xiang, who is already dead. It can be seen that the Bodhisattva you talk about is not omnipotent. Even a kind woman with a compassionate heart can do everything." I can't save my life."

The four monks smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the sun has not yet set, and the outcome has not yet been decided."

"Forget it." King Changwu did not doubt that he was there, "This king will wait here."

The four monks sat cross-legged, as if nothing had happened, they recited the Bodhisattva scriptures, and continued to talk about the scriptures and the Dharma.

For a while, all the people on and off the earth altar listened to the Buddhist scriptures and were intoxicated by it, forgetting that there was still Xiangfei's body left on the earth altar.

Until the sun goes down, the lotus lanterns around the earth altar will automatically light up.

King Changwu just woke up like a dream and said: "How about it, four masters, are you willing to admit defeat?"

The four monks smiled lightly and said: "The king, the concubine Xiang is not dead, but the poor monk has not lost."

King Changwu was taken aback when he heard the words, and turned to look at Concubine Xiang's body.

The fingers of the "corpse" trembled slightly, and then the limbs began to move, and finally sat cross-legged, with palms together, and the whole body was shining with golden light, like a god or Buddha.

She called out the Buddha's name and said:
"Amitabha! All living beings are suffering. I wish to end the world of mortals and take refuge in my Buddha."

"Amitabha!" The people under the altar, seeing this miracle, shouted that the Bodhisattva appeared, and knelt down to pray for blessings.

"How courageous." King Changwu laughed back angrily.

Seeing that Concubine Xiang really came back to life, and directly converted to Buddhism without asking himself, how could he turn a deaf ear and let her betray her?

He directly started, and took it to Xiangfei, wanting to see what was tricky in it, whether it was really resurrected from the dead, or a trick to fool people...

However, no matter how hard he tried, with the martial arts master's cultivation base and superimposed human king dragon energy on his body, he couldn't break the golden light protecting Xiangfei's body, and couldn't touch the real person in it.

King Changwu took a deep look at the four monks, smiled and said: "The four masters are really powerful, and this Buddhist magic is also extremely profound, so Concubine Xiang will enter Buddhism for me to practice and serve the Bodhisattva..."

He was originally instructed by the Dachang Academy to come here to provoke troubles and destroy the four monks' Dharma teaching career.

But things changed, and the monks of Dachang Academy who were supposed to act secretly were all silent, most likely they were held back by someone or something.

The strength and influence of these four monks are not only superficial, and he doesn't want to offend too much.

King Changwu lost his wife and lost his army, so he left Concubine Xiang and several court ladies behind, and drove back to the palace.

The next day.

King Changwu issued a decree to build the Huguo Tianlong Temple for the four eminent monks to spread Buddhism and educate the world.

Huguo Tianlong Temple covers an area of ​​[-] mu. It is made of purple gold sandalwood used by the royal palace, and the floor is paved with gold and jade. It is extremely luxurious...

The believers in Tanyue donated their money generously, countless jewels and jade articles were melted into the pool of merit and virtue of the seven treasures, and refined into Buddhist mantras, which helped a large number of believers to eliminate disasters and difficulties, and prolong life.

Since the day it was built, this treasure temple for protecting the country has been crowded with people and incense, and it has become a grand scene in the west of the city.

The precious light of Buddhism pervaded the sky, rising up into the sky like a golden pillar, which made people awe-inspiring.

……

Just one year.

Huguo Tianlong Temple has become a powerful force that cannot be ignored in the Dachang Dynasty.

The four eminent monks directly accepted nearly [-] disciples, among whom there were no lack of twelve casual cultivators in the realm of alchemy.

The violent rise of this force has shaken the original structure of Dachang's world of cultivating immortals, and naturally attracted countless disputes.

But what kind of characters are the four monks, who come here across the border, naturally have the confidence and strength to suppress all sneakiness.

What's more, there is an even more unfathomable God of Dragon Transformation hidden behind the scenes.

……

Huguo Tianlong Temple, inside the Bodhisattva Golden Hall.

Pei Chong and other five people gathered here.

"Amitabha!" Huiguo clasped his hands together and said firstly, "In just over a year, our Huguo Tianlong Temple has such a momentum, which is rare. If there are no accidents, it will be shaken in another ten years. The foundation of Dachang College."

Pei Chong sighed slightly, and said: "It's not easy to develop smoothly without accidents. The monks of Dachang Academy have already become alert, and they will never tolerate this temple being a big..."

Hui Nan suddenly said: "If you can find a way to directly kill the Bronze Crane God and the Golden Deer God of Dachang Academy, and then defeat Dachang Academy, it will not be difficult."

Pei Chong glanced at Hualong Shenjun, and said: "Shenjun, you are the only one sitting here who has fought against those two. I don't know how strong they are? If we set up an ambush, can we take those two in one fell swoop?"

A year ago, King Changwu came to the earth altar to provoke, and the Bronze Crane Lord of Dachang Academy secretly made a move.

But with Pei Chong, there is also Hualong Shenjun's hole card, the two sides played against each other for several moves, evenly matched...

Later, the Tianlong Temple of Huguo was built, and it expanded rapidly, and its power increased greatly. The Bronze Crane God and the Golden Deer God worked together to set up an ambush to attack the Hualong God, but they failed...

The God of Transformation Dragon replied: "Those two gods have powerful magic powers, they are not easy to deal with, if it is not for the limitations of the audience's wishes and skills, they should have the strength to advance to the realm of God Transformation, the five of us work together, if we want to win It is not difficult to get rid of them, but it is as difficult as heaven to keep them alive."

"Unless they can be trapped in the formation, and they can be divided and attacked..."

Pei Chong sneered and said, "I'm afraid, those two gods of Dachang Academy also want to use this method to deal with us..."

We are not stupid, how can we be easily fooled.
